The Physical Web is a Speed Issue

on YouTube ↗18m

" summary

Physical Web reduces friction by broadcasting URLs from devices so a phone can discover a web page for a parking meter or toy and complete actions with a tap. It uses Bluetooth Low Energy and the Eddystone URL frame, a proxy that fetches and caches metadata to prevent fingerprinting, and WebSocket or JavaScript Bluetooth for direct device interaction. Demos include paying a meter, a 3D‑printed toy controlled from a page, and a $39 Particle board — all open source and already runnable via apps and browser scanners.
