StickNFind Locator System Makes Finding Lost Items Much Easier
Posted by Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 12/01/2012 10:58 AM | 10 comment(s) ]
Admittedly, pretty vlever. Losing your remote, keys, and other items may soon be a thing of the past. Presenting, StickNFind, the app based location tool. By simply placing a small 'sticker' onto any item, you can use a Bluetooth paired iOS or Android phone to determine how far away that item is. The app uses a radar-like feature that shows the distance you are from the object, up to its 100ft max.

I love this idea!
Here's a link to their project page: http://www.indiegogo.com/sticknfind
Basically they want around $15 per sticker + shipping (and $20-25$ once it's released) - it sounds reasonable, although I hoped these sticker would be a little cheaper.

I like it, The price is reasonable enough, and the size is good enough i'd buy 4. Under the condition the batteries are replaceable (in one way or another).
Edit:
Just found this:
Type: CR2025 watch battery. Battery is replaceable

Great idea.
Just a note, it requires iOS or Android phone or tablet with Bluetooth 4.0 support.

Does the first post look strange to anyone else?
it says this
"Admittedly, pretty vlever.Â*Losing your remote, keys, and other itemsÂ*may soon be a thing of the past."
In case these are control codes that arent displaying correctly for me only, I've split them up below:
"pretty vlever .  * Losing your remote, keys, and other items  * may"
I've seen this quite a few times here on Guru

Awesome stuff.. Now I just need another phone, so I can find my phone while looking on it on my phone..
But srsly.. great "invention".. With a longer battery life (e.g. 2 years+), and a longer range (200ft+) I may call it, invention of the year, or decade if you wish so..
And if they can "upgrade" it a way, that you can idd see it on a radar like screen, to figure out the approximate direction of the missing thing, it'll be a win-win
It's not quite cheap thou..

Interesting. It reminds me of this keyring my mum used to have, and every time you whistled it would go off.
