Mobile device integration is hard. But not anymore. In this session you'll be able to see how you can easily use device capabilities and integrate with Beacons and Geofence. This presentation consisted in a live demo, which will be shared later on, and on a small video, to be shared as well later. Presentation made at OutSystems NextStep Lisbon 2016.

54. Recap
Geofence works with GPS and WiFi and is used
to create large virtual perimeters
Beacons work with BLE and enable your app to
become local aware
NFC works in close proximity and enable your app
to get object context
