I know there have been some innovative uses on this tech in museums/galleries - my thought was more about the content authoring environment - most of the commercial offerings seem to have standalone CMS's - which create another content silo - what would be good would be a plugin into a generic CMS (Wordpress) and that can push content to the beacons - via a fixed template; in this way non tech dept. would be able to author content, dynamically -

That’s the approach we’re working with. (nothing to demonstrate publicly yet)
However, all the shiny content delivery ideas and new tech means of presenting it means nothing if you haven’t got a decent story to tell.
Write the story first. Then think about how best to tell it.
I think it’s too easy to believe a new technology will inspire the story, but it really is the other way round.
