Example apps & use-cases
At Estimote, we envision a software-augmented physical world: apps that make our every-day interactions in the physical world more enjoyable and efficient.
Here are some examples of what mobile apps that know your context (location, items and screens nearby) could do, whether you’re at work, hitting the gym, shopping, going to movies, eating out, etc.
Tip: Help us decide which examples we should build next, and make the code available for download. Upvote the ones that you’re particularily interested in, and would love to try them out, or show them to your friends or colleagues. Note that upvoting everything doesn’t help us much 😉
Have another idea not listed here, and want to see it built? Let us know on Estimote Forums.

Pop corn in one hand, soda in the other… how do you show your ticket?
You don't have to! The app automatically sends it to the attendant's iPad.

Shopping list 🛍 🛒
