How to turn Mac into iBeacon

Has anyone tried turning MAC into iBeacon. I have done this for iOS device and want a similar independent app for MAC with some UI as well. I heard the new APIs on mavericks supports iBeacon and we can use them for UI purpose as well. Any pointers/sample code/documentation would be of great help.

Take a look at this project for some great sample code on how to achieve this in Mavericks: https://github.com/timd/MactsAsBeacon

It's based on the following blog post: http://www.blendedcocoa.com/blog/2013/11/02/mavericks-as-an-ibeacon/

Hope you find it useful!

At Radius Networks, we just released a product that will provide you this functionality called MacBeacon. We hope you find it as useful a tool as we do in designing, testing and iterating on iBeacon-based solutions.
