The Physical Web

• The Physical Web is an effort to extend the core superpower of theweb - the URL - to everyday physical objects.

• The premise is that you should be able to walk up to any “smart”physical object (e.g. a vending machine, a poster, a toy, a bus stop, arental car) and interact with it without first downloading an app.

• The user experience of smart objects should be much like links in aweb browser: i.e., just tap and use.

• At its base, the Physical Web is a discovery service: a smart objectbroadcasts relevant URLs that any nearby device can receive.

• This ostensibility can unlock exciting new ways to interact with theWeb.

the context?

ü the real physical context for theservice deliveredü the context where the payment is

earnedü the context where the payment

transaction OK/confirm takes place(i.e. all the time in my pocket as longas I / my mobile phone am/is in thevicinity of the lift and movingaccording to the lift -line)

the context?

What if ...ü "I am the context for the lift"ü For the IT system of this lift service

I am the context where it can earnmoney for the services it delivers.ü In "me" it finds a bitcoin wallet with

financial resources that may enable itto continue it's existence as afinancially autonomous agent who isdoing well and earning enough to getdecent maintenance, new paintingonce a year, etc.ü The lift needs my allocation decision

i.e. - that I have allowed someone likeit to bill my wallet for the services itoffers ...

• Beacons are small devices that areinstalled in a fixed location broadcastingtheir presence to all smart phones around.

• They could be as little as 2 inches and asfar as 230 feet (approx. 70 metres) awayfrom your phone

• you may - I guess - install it as a sticker ona wearable too

• You can get a good understanding of theopportunities by visiting estimote.com - thepictures on the left are from their website

YUROHS• Apps can subscribe in the operating system (both iOS and Android) toconstantly listen for particular identifiers.

• When the phone comes into the range of a beacon or if the beaconcomes into the range of phone the app is notified about this, even if thephone is locked or the app is not currently running..

• Beacon is thus a real-world context for your apps helping to createcontextually rich mobile experiences.

YUROHS• Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency that has two very interesting features.• A bitcoin is divisible to the eight decimal. The smallest portion of bitcoin is satoshi.

1 BTC = 10^8 satoshis = 100,000,000 satoshis• Because of the structure of the transaction costs bitcoin enables me to pay for that

left foot shoe step by step if I so want.• Or to be precise - it enables me to give my wallet the permission to pay 10 satoshi per

each step with that shoe. In one day my wallet would thus pay ~10.000 times 10satoshis for the factory and the logistic channels who delivered that shoe to me

Page 12: Bitcoin and beacons_for_skiresorts

YUROHS• What is said above in the earlier slides may sound trivial.• But if you take out that shoe and put there a 100+K Tesla or ski-resort infrastructure

instead ...• ... and remember that in that blue cloud the transaction costs and externalities are

very different than it used to be in these environments you may start to get someinnovative business model ideas

• ... which may in the end change everything
