Hi Phil,
The only way you can do this via a website in any kind of automatic way is
using Eddystone beacons which requires that the browser supports the
Eddystone-URL extension. The only browser that supports this is Chrome, so
your visitors will need to install Chrome before they can use the service,
which probably defeats your goal not to require anything downloadable.
You'd need to install beacons that support this format (most do these days)
at locations around your venue.
You could go for something more manual that requires users to input a code
of some kind for a specific location to access new content, though I'm not
sure the experience would be particularly good for users.
It's possible you could achieve something using different wifi access
points that showed different content, though again it's hard for me to
imagine how you'd provide something users would gravitate to. I seem to
recall Mike of these parts saying he'd done some experimenting with
Wordpress and Raspberry Pis, perhaps he could share how that's progressing
as it may be of some help for what you're trying to achieve.
Frankly the requirements you've outlined suit an app far better than a
browser, though I'm dreadfully biased on this point :-)
Best regards,
Nick
