Comment on Ask HN: What API to the physical world do you wish existed?

Comments

A find() method for physical objects that'll return co-ordinates of where it's located. Very useful for locating people as well.

I guess it can be done using some combination of RFID/Building Map, GPS/Google Map and an app(mobile/tablet/web) to manage it all.

We need cheap, mini(or sticker like)RFID/GPS systems, so that we can just stick it to the items we want to track.
