Hey guys - thought I'd come here to ask these questions because Apple's iBeacon resources are pretty sparse.
EDIT: learning more about Bluetooth LE, I guess this is a more general question about the technology than about iBeacon.
The first question is pretty simple: If I were to place a few Bluetooth LE beacons in a given location, could I develop an app that displays the number of devices in said location without those devices having the same app?
Further, can social data be passed along with iBeacon? For example, let's say a user signs into the app with Facebook and goes to one of the locations I'm talking about. Could I access age/gender data and allow other app users to see this information?
Thanks a ton.
