The third session is over just now. It was a demo of a small prototype developed by Leads Technologies, a electronics device that can accept commands from a bluetooth remote or a bluetooth application that can run on mobile phones. Basically they have developed a bluetooth home automation system, where the remote is your mobile phone.
The session was taken by Hari who is the operations manager at Leads. The session saw some real action from the campers where they discussed about the feasibility of such a product, and about some competitors like wifi, zigbee etc.

Wibree has been renamed to ULP Bluetooth, ie Ultra Low Power Bluetooth. This change in name happened after the adoption of the technology by Bluetooth SIG. From now on this short range wireless communication protocol will be a part of the bluetooth specifications.
The advantage of this adoption is the faster integration with existing bluetooth specs and products. We are expecting to see the first wibree products in an year.
