If somebody manages to build a reasonable-precision (tens of cm?) indoor location system with decent user experience (ie reasonably easy to set up, reliable, cheap, and stable), they have a massive hit on their hands. Never mind the cat, never lose a key or a remote ever again. Or your pills. Hugely valuable for the elderly.

Are you aware of what a chipolo is?

They sell little fobs that you attach to your keys that make a loud noise when activated. I considered getting one, but I feel like I'd just lose the activator.
