Field notes

The walkthrough starts with a badge code scanned by a phone camera; attendees add interests and specify what they can offer or want before transferring the profile over Bluetooth. The site describes proximity matching on the badge and a post-event sync that makes matched contacts available on the attendee’s setup page. It lists an ESP32, Bluetooth LE, and a stated 4–6 hour battery life, while presenting pilot booking as the route for organisers.
