That's the catch!
 
Sounds kind of like a neat gadget, wish it didn't require a smart phone though. I'd like some kind of separate hand held unit that way I could place the RFID tags on all the TV remotes/cell phones/keys/wallets in my household. If I couldn't find my wallet, I could just run through the house and all the rooms to see if I get any beeps from my hand held unit.

then i should call my dog LOL
 
if an infinate ammount of tags can be used, id get one for every game i own...

but needs to be smartphone less, and cheaper tags, like a quarter each.

Than you use the Grok-Finder App on your Android phone (Patent pending of course) 🙂

But seriously, as nice as the idea is, 6-10ft may be a bit too short an active distance to find your misplaced car keys in even a moderately sized house.
 
Well, 6-10 feet would give you an area of 64-100 feet. Assuming it is giving instantaneous and continuous feedback, I think you'd cover a couple thousand feet relatively quickly [compared to digging through the couch cushions and drawers where the item might not even be]
 
@rosen380 : I'm not sure about your math. If we assume the device has a 360° scanning angle, you'll acutally get between 113,04ft² and 314ft², or 904,32ft³ and 4186,66ft³.
 
Yes, because my brain was off :) In any case, the short sounding range still covers a pretty big area, so assuming the item you are looking for is actually in your house, I'm betting this will find it pretty quickly.
