the minute I saw this I thought where can I get this? I am forever looking for my phone, keys, purse, husband.
We all have those things we are notorious for losing. Commonly its a set of keys, an umbrella, pair of gloves or a wallet. Wouldnt it be nice if there was some way of locating these things in a fashion similar to how you might find your cellphone by calling it with another device?
A idea for a new piece of technology being financed through the crowd-funding site Indigogo wants to create just that. The idea for Stick-N-Find is that you would place a small (about the size of a quarter) sticker with Bluetooth technology embedded onto the item you so often lose. The stickers are equipped with a flashing light and buzzer to help you find them when needed. The corresponding smartphone app has radar detection that shows you how far away the items are from your phone. To find them, you play a game of hot and cold seeing if youre walking closer to or further away from the lost item. When youre close enough, you can make it flash and/or buzz.
