Bluetooth-enabled Tile helps to track lost objects

Finding the phone is easy as you can ring it, but when it comes to other things, finding missing items can be really daunting. In order to help in keeping track of our things so we never lose them again, a team of designers have introduced small, low-power consuming Bluetooth-enabled tags dubbed Tile, which can attach to all kinds of objects and help the owner find their belonging using the Tile app. The accompanying app lets the user find tagged objects by triggering an alarm and allowing you to track it using a map.

In case the tilled object is out of the user’s range, its attacked Tile relays a signal which put other Tile apps in search mode. It sends a notification when found – all this happens in top secrecy. The whole procedure of locating the item takes place so securely that even the person whose Tile app locates the item doesn’t know that they’ve found it.[more…]

Features Overview:

  • You’re getting warmer – You can see yourself getting closer and further away from the Tile when within a 50 – 150ft range.
  • No batteries to replace? – Nope, you never need to replace the batteries or even charge your Tiles.
