Week 7: Proximity Detection

March 26, 2025

Thoughts of the week

A bit late, but over break, I set up a proximity GUI to tell the user if they are in the range of a beacon. For right now, I have hardcoded thresholds, which work for now, but I will soon implement pulling these values from the database. I have also started to work on when the user is within range of the beacon; it will ask them if they want to go there and show them the information associated with that certain beacon. This will later be adapted to show the users the workouts at this station (machine).

Images

Working on a different view for these images to minimize scrolling, but this will work for now.

beacon both out of range
Both out of range.
beacon 5 in range
L5 in range.
beacon 13 in range
L13 in range.
both in range
Both in range.

Next Steps

I am currently working on a system where when going into the range of a beacon, the user will be prompted to access the beacon's data. If so, the system will show the user some dummy data for now, which will then be converted later to workouts.
