Throw one of these into the Apple Watch (or a gamepad) and you have something that works like the Oculus Touch Controller. Put one in your AirPods and you have head tracking.

Could be a powerful addition to their future AR hardware.




My wife is constantly hunting for one of her Airpods. Just having accurate location tracking system for them would be amazing.


The biggest problem is finding Airpods that are in the case. In the case, they can't connect to a nearby phone. Out of the case, you can get in range, connect, then play a sound. I have lost my Airpods in the case a few times, and never lost a single Airpod out of the case. I hope this solves the lost-in-the-case problem.


It says it's 50x faster than GPS when it comes to latency but that still is too slow to be used as any sort of controller.
