Ever wonder what it would be like to NOT have to hang around airport baggage carousels? We did too. So we came up with a solution that combines the power of Low Energy Bluetooth Beacons with a simple, yet ever so powerful, smartphone app called TravelTag! TravelTag announces your bag (visually & audibly) when it arrives a the baggage carousel! We presented TravelTag at MassTLC, where we were nominated for Innovative Technology Of The Year For Mobile Apps! Here is our presentation!
