Web Directions Code ’23 session spotlight–Wait, my browser can do Bluetooth?!

Wait, my browser can do Bluetooth?!

Browsers are becoming the new operating system for the applications we use on a daily basis, but hardware access has always been a barrier. Now, with direct access to the local Bluetooth stack, talking to local embedded devices just became radically easier.

Simon Hildebrandt

Simon has been a web developer for almost two decades, but his restless love for coding roams over game development and embedded experimentation too. His Github account is littered with experiments varying from broken prototype to finished product, and his desk is littered with laser cut fragments, 3D printed widgets and custom circuit boards.

Being a Dad to Maisy and Alex, and a husband to Amanda, are the only things that trump technical meddling for him.
