Have you ever lost your smartphone? Your glasses? Your keys? Of course you have. The question is: How much time is too much time wasted to find them again? Pixie Technology is the newest company on the market to make tracking gadgets that help you find your things. The company says its “location engineering” breakthrough offers something brand new and unique. Pixie Technology says it has created the world’s first Location of Things (LoT) technology platform that makes location an exact science by allowing users to create a digital map of their things.

Pixie says it can help anyone pinpoint the location of lost items within inches.  “We’ve created an innovative and secure platform that links the physical world to the digital world in a way that has never been done before,” says Amir Bassan-Eskenazi, CEO and cofounder of Pixie. “Pixie’s focus is on precise location and versatility; unlike competing products, the sensors, or ‘Pixie Points,’ are always on and connect to each other, creating a small mesh network that enables precise triangulation of your things, even if they’re on the other side of a wall,” reads a Gizmodo review of the new product.

Many of the other location-tracking devices are Bluetooth-enabled and lose range if the lost item is too far away. Pixie Points are small in size — 47mm x 35mm x 3.2mm – but have a range of up to 150 feet. Here’s how it works: The Pixie platform includes an augmented reality interface and low-energy sensors in the shape of a guitar-pick (called Pixie Points) that you attach to something you think you might lose. The Pixie Points smart tags can be affixed to keys, wallets, remotes, toys, pets, drones or just about anything else. The Pixies “talk to each other and then sync to the Pixie app which performs sophisticated triangulation visible only to the rightful owner,” according to a company statement. (via Israel21c)
