Are you constantly misplacing things? A couple of inventors might have a solution to your age-old problem with Kinsight, a system that helps you retrace your steps when you've lost something by tracking you and how you interact with your stuff.

Their secret? They've done it by placing several Microsoft Kinect sensors throughout the living space, analyzing movements with unique software, and cataloging each time something is changed in the environment. The software is even smart enough to know where certain objects are most likely to be found.

According to the BBC, the goal of the experiment is to allow absent-minded users to use the software like a literal search engine, asking it the same question people ask you when you lose something: Where did you last see it? Of course, the software needs to be taught what each object is, for it to let you search for those objects with any sort of relevance.
