I won’t even begin to describe to you how frustrating it is to misplace something in such a way that no amount of effort can find it because I’m sure all of you are very familiar with how it feels. Fortunately, we have technology to help us overcome our imperfections and Pixie Points are the perfect answer to this particular problem.
Do you find that your valuables often grow legs and go for a walk? If so, there’s a new solution that may be able to help. Meet Pixie — a so-called “location of things” technology platform that can help you keep track of your possessions and find items that go missing. The system relies on small smart tags called Pixie Points, which you can place on things that are prone to magically disappear — your keys, wallet, the TV remote, a toddler’s favorite toy, or just about anything else. These Pixie Points contain “signaling technology” that allow the tags to communicate with each other and create a “personal digital map” of all your tagged items, which is then synced to the Pixie mobile app.
