If you find that you're prone to losing your bags and other important personal belongings, the BitStuff project to help you track your bags is one that's definitely worth checking out. The project involves BitBags, which are essentially tablet cases, purses, backpacks and other portable storage devices that have been loaded with Bluetooth technology for tracking.
The BitStuff project works with the aid of the free-to-download BIT.me app and it's powered by "Bithunters," who work together to find lost objects within the city. As the project is being developed, there are plans to implement a reward or loyalty system put in place for the people who help to locate lost objects. To build a server that's capable of all these amazing features, the project is now raising funds on Eppela, an Italian crowdfunding platform Italy.
