Having taken a set of cameras and lenses for shooting, when I finished taking pictures, I had dropped the SD card and missing missing ...... If I do not want to taste such a tragedy twice, the entrepreneurial System in which Roy Garritz manages items using RFID's small tag "GearEye"Was devised.

Mr. Roy Garritz of GearEye developer


As a cameraman, I carry various equipment ... ...


At one time I dropped the SD card and I had a nightmare experience that I could not find it. This triggered the development of GearEye.


GearEye's main body (dongle) has an elongated cylindrical shape


Detect nearby RFID stickers ... ...


Check item list, we will tell you what is missing.


Since multiple lists can be created, it can be switched to "Equipment for portrait photography" and "Equipment for night view photography".


The advantage of tags used by GearEye is that there is no need for charging, that they have a lifetime of about a year, that prices are reasonable, that they can be of various shapes and sizes.


Tags are stuck to various things from camera body to battery, tripod platform.


Mr. Garitz was also thinking about using Bluetooth at the beginning, though it would have been sufficient if only two tracking targets were good, but it turns out that it can not be used very much if it reaches tens of items, and RFID I thought of using it.

Thanks to this, even without checking the items one by one, you can also use the bag to put baggage in a bag with a GearEye dongle just to check for lost items.

In addition, "GearEye Cover (GearEye Case)" which has the same function as the dongle and can be used as a smartphone cover is also available.


Mr. Garitz is seeking investment with Kickstarter for mass production, and more than $ 120,000 (about 13.3 million yen) as of November 18, 2016 against the target amount of $ 60,000 (about 6.6 million yen) We are gathered.
