As the web is changing, more and more devices are going online and becoming a part of the IoT revolution. Thus, we need newer ways to interact with them without much difficulty. This combination of the Physical Web and WebBluetooth will allow more experiments in the future and give birth to seamless interactions with our devices.
Source code of this API is available on GitHub and For more details Visit Mozilla’s blog. Mozilla Team also released the video as proof of concept as shown below:
