Smart ‘stickers’ let you find things by phone
BARCELONA — Mr Jimmy Buchheim is behaving oddly.
On the floor of the world’s largest cellphone trade show in Barcelona, Spain, he is looking at the screen of his iPod Touch, taking a few steps, and then looking again. Now and then he backtracks or turns, and looks again. Slowly, he confines his movements to a smaller and smaller area. Then he drops to his knees, and checks the screen again. He scrabbles forward.
“There we are!” he says.
Mr Buchheim has found his keys, which had been hidden behind a wastebasket by a sceptical reporter. On the key ring is a small disc, slightly bigger than a quarter. That is what Mr Buchheim was homing in on, with his iPod Touch. It allowed him to find his keys, hidden out of sight in an apartment-sized booth.
