Taking inspiration from this lamp idea (left), by Andreas Müller - the lamp goes from on -> dims -> off according to its orientation to pointing North. I’d love to build a variation (right) that uses a servo motor to automatically point the needle itself at whatever the object of your affection.
Name Plate 2.0 (for the multi-location worker) Update: It may help to explain - I work in two different campuses and I often asked what campus I’ll be working from. So while I am working on a physical device with the some of the crew at Milwaukee Makerspace. I dropped an NFC tag behind my nameplate and programmed it to link to my Google Latitude account. Tap my nameplate with your NFC enabled phone and you are instantly show where I am at that point in time.
UPDATE: Posted a short YouTube video showing how it works: http://youtu.be/buy-H9ee-Rs
