COMPUTERWORLD – July 23 – Japan Airlines demonstrated how some of its staff at Haneda Airport in Tokyo are using Samsung Galaxy Gear 2 smartwatches to locate and communicate with each other. The goal is to improve efficiency in assigning staff and improve passenger service. The watches were connected to an app which received data from the airports back office and location information was enabled using iBeacons. The trial will continue through mid-August and is the first commercial application of smartwatches in Japan.
