The Lady Bag: Treat for the forgetful minds
By Andrew | March 25, 2008
If you are a loser, you’ll love this! Don’t get offended, I mean if you are used to dropping your wallet or forgetting your cell phone or keys for that matter, we have got a great help for you.
I don’t think I need to tell you its all bout RFID, coz they are fitting the technology into almost anything. So, in the same vein the reference here is to the LadyBag. Designed by designed by six SFU students (all women, after all a woman can empathies with what other woman feels after dropping the wallet ;)), this unique bag is fitted with an RFID reader and a little LED display to blink at you in different ways whenever it doesn’t find your wallet, keys, cell phone or any other belonging inside the bag.
I guess not just this, the technology should be made a must-have for each and every bag…I consider as an object of national need …kidding!
This is not where the LadyBag story ends. To add into the fun element, the Bag is also capable of displaying it’s emotions, thanks to the LEDs. He’ll give you a cute smiley the moment you ‘squeeze’ it, while some fiddling with the ‘zipper’ ad it gets nervous as if thinking of a thief opening the bag. What more? It also displays a warm heart, how? I don’t have any clue, just get hold of the bag and find out yourself.

Loc8tor Lite is a chic thing to find anything that you can lose and found at your home. Right from the keys, TV remotes, mobile phones to the lively ones like your pets and not to forget your car.
Yes, you got that right, it’s the RFID technology that works in the lite that make you find your desired object that’s attached to a small homing tag.
This is how the Loc8tor works: It gives you audio and visual cues from the handheld point in the direction where it scans the missing Tag/object. No matter your keys are stuffed behind that sofa or forgotten in the near by store, Loc8tor will take you to that place with in minutes and even seconds in some cases.
The accuracy can be estimated by the fact that the signals are so strong that you’ll be guided with in a proximity of inch/2.5cm of the lost object, no matter you are indoors or outdoors! All you need to do is follow the direction where you are getting the strongest signal from the handheld…that’s it!
