Proximity Beacon API for PWAs

Beacon detection is already available to native apps and it would be great to have that for web apps.

Basically when a web page is open, it should be able to access to a list of nearby beacons.

Example use case: When you are moving in a museum and you open the website of the museum, you get specific information about your current room and its contents.

Could this be Web Bluetooth Scanning?
