For a non-technical audience, new concepts from computer science and engineering are often hard to grasp. In order to introduce a general audience to topics related to Industry 4.0, we designed and developed a demonstrator game. The Who-wants-to-be-a-millionaire?-style quiz game lets the player experience indoor positioning based on Bluetooth signal strength firsthand. We found that such an interactive game demonstrator can function as a conversation-opener and is useful in helping introduce concepts relevant for many future jobs.
