The user would tag his\/her personal belongings, like an mp3 player, cell phone, wallet or keys with small Bluetooth markers. Whenever the user gets out of range of his\/her belongings, their bracelet or hooded jacket would receive a vibration or LED light alert.  The lights and vibrations can be customized to the user\u0027s preferences.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThese are just two examples of the innovative and inspired products on display.
