Jon Fingas, writing for Engadget: Don't look now, but your web browser is about
to become aware of the devices around you. After months of testing, Google has
switched on broader experimental support in Chrome and Chrome OS for Web
Bluetooth, which lets websites interact with your nearby Bluetooth gear. You
could use a web interface to control your smart home devices, for instance, or
send data directly from your heart rate monitor to a fitness coach. At the
moment, trying Web Bluetooth requires the stars to align in just the right way.
You'll need a pre-release version of Chrome 53, and you'll naturally want to
find (or create) a website that uses the tech in the first place.
