Ultra-wideband proximity
Transforms check-in, handoff, and physical-to-digital flows without requiring QR scans or manual pairing.
Device + Context
What this unlocks
Use UWB or BLE ranging to trigger directional, room-level interactions when users approach people, objects, or kiosks.
Constraint to design around
Hardware support differs by device generation and operating system policy.
Use cases
Where this can create a product edge
Use these patterns to shape concrete jobs-to-be-done, not just technical demos.
Tapless check-in
Ultra-wideband proximity can reduce friction and increase confidence in this scenario.
Nearby device handoff
Ultra-wideband proximity can reduce friction and increase confidence in this scenario.
Museum companion experiences
Ultra-wideband proximity can reduce friction and increase confidence in this scenario.
Implementation notes
Practical shipping guidance
Technical capability only becomes product value when the edge cases are designed intentionally.
Shipping note
Offer fallback to BLE RSSI when UWB hardware is unavailable.
Shipping note
Gate scans behind explicit user actions to avoid background drain.
Shipping note
Expose clear permission rationale before proximity prompts.
