If one thing can be said about Bluetooth, it has certainly inspired innovation. Who would have ever thought that you could use your Bluetooth enabled Pocket PC or Cellphone to find your luggage in a crowded luggage claim? Well, apparently, Nathan Lynch & Lea Miller thought it was possible and they have created a new concept design for Bluebird Smart Luggage Tag. The Bluebird would signal your cellphone or other Bluetooth enabled device when your luggage was nearby, making your trip into the luggage claim much less of a pushing and shoving session. Personally, I don't know if the airlines would allow this since they don't allow any electronic devices to be turned on during landing and takeoff - but they may be able to solve this using a timer or something. Solution:
Bluebird is a Bluetooth luggage tag that communicates with your cell phone.
Bluebird signals your cell phone when your luggage is nearby. There is no need to fight the crowd at the carousel. Have a seat on a nearby bench and read your magazine instead.
Bluebird blinks when he is within range of you, helping visually identify your luggage. This makes it easier to spot your luggage, and less likely that someone will pick up your bags by mistake.
You can keep track of multiple bags using Bluebird software in your phone. Attach a Bluebird to each piece of checked luggage. Your phone will keep track of each bag as it is found, providing reassurance that nothing has been left behind.
Bluebird has the capability to store unlimited types of contact information. Should your luggage be sent to the wrong destination, travel authorities could retrieve detailed contact information from Bluebird using a Bluetooth enabled computer. via Thinking by Peter Davidson
Think this little gadget will see the light of day or remain on the Tarmac?
A cool idea would be little teeny bluetooth modules you can stick on or in items you loose often, and then you can walk around with your pada and it will tell you how close (Signal strength)
