Getting started testing the Physical Web

In order to get up and running you need two things:

1. A hardware beacon (or two) that supports Eddystone-URL advertisement packets.
2. Software on your phone/tablet to scan for Eddystone-URL advertisement packets.

The software is easy thing to take care of once you have beacons. There is a Physical Web demo app on the Google Play store as well as the Apple App Store. A walkthrough of the app is here.

Keep in mind that this software is just a prototype. We are doing it this way to easily and quickly test the concept.
