Hey, I love building things: Developer Relations @ Telekom, Communities @ GDG Berlin Android or strange things with all sorts of materials. I'm happy to chat about technology, languages, communities, speaking at conferences and meetups, my cats and everything else. :) ZeBadgeMan

ZePass: Digital Badges communicating

How do you feel about communicating with attendees without actually having to talk? Do like to wear a fancy digital badge that can be programmed? Do you feel both cannot be combined with an Android app? Well then you came to the right talk! We are exploring how we build the software for our digital badge ("ZeBadge") that can not only display your favorite name, but also wirelessly communicate with other badges🆕, to share said name, but also any other information the user chooses. Additionally we'll also talk about the Android app controlling the badge, reading out your wireless encounters and displaying random graphics and names on it: What protocol does the badge use to communicate with the app? How does the same code executed on the Web (KMP + ktor) and a quick reminder of how fancy black and white pixels can be. Come join our wild ride and explore ZeBadge with ZePass! (Only one badge got harmed in the process of creating this talk)
