After that, start up the dedicated application and tap on the part marked "Adding" ......


"Remote Control" is displayed and the remote control can be tracked from the application.


To find an item Launch the camera. "X" mark appears floating around the position where the plate is reflected, and the location of the registered item can be found.


This is based on Pixie's original technology "LoT (Location of Things)" which applied IoT (Internet of Things) to location information technology. The distance from the user to the item can be measured by measuring it in feet, and the distance is accurately displayed even across the wall. In addition to measuring distance information of each other by mutual communication between Pixie Points, it is said that it forms a secure and powerful self management network.


If there are no items you are looking for in the surrounding area, tap the item from the list.
