BluetoothRoom

every Bluetooth device around the Mac, drawn as a room: the Mac sits at the center and each device sits at the distance its signal suggests, so a phone carried past moves a dot. It needs no gear of your own, because a room is already full of devices announcing themselves (BluetoothScan, BluetoothPeripheral)

/// Every Bluetooth device around this Mac, drawn as a room.
///
/// This one needs no gear of your own: a phone, a watch, a pair of earphones,
/// a car, a shop's beacon, all of them announce themselves several times a
/// second, and every announcement carries a signal strength. The Mac sits at
/// the center and each device sits at the distance its signal suggests, so
/// walking across the room with a phone in your pocket moves a dot.
///
/// The distance is a guess and it says so: radio goes through a wall and
/// around a body, so a dot wanders even when nothing moves.
///
/// The first run asks for permission to use Bluetooth. Until that is answered
/// the radio says nothing at all, and the sketch draws the reason instead.
