And those light sticks aren't handed out as part of the event, they're mementos that fans will sometimes spend more than $100 on.
Lighting devices are tied to an app on a phone via Bluetooth. The user also puts their location into the app.
Android also has a function to log all traffic into a file, which can later be copied to a computer for analysis in Wireshark.
connect the phone to the computer via USB, enable USB debugging, select the "Android Bluetooth" capture source in Wireshark, and start recording!
newer versions of Wireshark include an androiddump utility to capture Bluetooth traffic directly from Android phones. The setup couldn't be simpler: connect the phone to the computer via USB, enable USB debugging, select the "Android Bluetooth" capture source in Wireshark, and start recording!

How to Set Up Bluetooth in Linux
Bluetooth—so simple and yet so troublesome. For a subsection of users, Yosemite is causing problems with Bluetooth accessories and connectivity. One solution proffered by iDigitalTimes is to disconnect all USB preferences, shut the Mac off for several minutes and then try again from the beginning. You may have to teach Yosemite about your Bluetooth accessories afresh instead of relying on what Mavericks has passed on. Over on the official Apple forums, it looks like resetting your machine's PRAM (Parameter Random Access Memory) once or twice might fix the problem. PRAM is where all of the core information about your system is stored, and you reset it by booting up, then holding down the Cmd+Option+P+R keys right after you've hit the power button. When you hear the startup sound for the second time, you can let go.
I may need to try this solution.
