This device looks interesting as an additional tool in the toolbox and I think my 1st grade son would have fun trying it out. I once got to try something similar, which was a handheld device owned by someone from Australia. It was something like the Miniguide which is currently sold in the USA for $499 at LS&S. The new BuzzClip is definitely more affordable. The following is a link to the Miniguide:

The Miniguide changes the intensity of vibration depending on how far away something is. I wonder if the BuzzClip also changes intensity with distance?
