My fictitious product:
"Call it All"
A positioning system for things in the home, answer to the "I wish I could call my keys like I call my phone" impulse.
Concept:
A scanner for home items like office supplies, clothes, kitchen items that allows you to tag items with a sensor chip associated with an assigned search term. Automatically builds a database of your personal items that interfaces with email and mobile tech allowing the item to be searchable from a computer or phone and mapped within the space of the home.
