Here’s a really cool project that uses Bluetooth in a visual way.

It tracks the location of a bluetooth device as it travels across London Bridge, and represents that movement through colored lights along the bridge.  It also seems to use the information to represent that travel distance/time in colored lights on the neighboring Tower Bridge.  It is interesting how the different websites focus on different aspects of the project.  The very bottom of the third link has video and an image of the sign they used to encourage participation.  Besides being locative and bluetooth-y, it is also rather pretty…

 (on a side note, Jason Bruges’s website is cool)
