AccessWorld also has an interview about the Aware app, which uses iBeacons
to help blind people navigate indoors. According to the article, the
iBeacons act like signs, and the app can direct the person from one to
another. However, someone has to set up the iBeacons, so it sounds a bit
hit-and-miss, but worth a look.
The article described walking around a conference where the iBeacons had
been deployed, and knowing which booth was which, and how to get to one the
interested the app user. Pretty cool, when it works.
