Lost your keys or wallet again? Tag them to work with the Loc8tor, and the radar-like device will track them down in no time, within a 500-foot range. Tags can even be attached to children and pets, in case you’re too lazy to give a yell or check their known hiding places. That’s the promise behind this not-yet-released device, but the developers of Loc8tor are extremely vague on details of how it works. RFID? GPS? We have no idea. However, as long as it’s better than those cheesy, bulky RF key-locator things that Sharper Image sells, we’re willing to give it a go. They claim to be debuting at CES, so keep your eyes open.
