Idea: Magnetic-Location of objects for blind people.

A blind person could find objects using the feeling of magnetic attraction.
For example: Say that I was blind folded and three containers were placed in front of me marked A, B and C and they were shuffled around so that they were not in Alphabetical order and I was asked to tell which container was container B.
If container B had a magnet in it then, simply by holding an iron object, I would know which was container B because I would feel the magnet pull upon the iron object.
A blind person, if they had magnetic markers placed in their house, stuck on certain items could, similarly, feel that magnetic pull and find the objects.
Another example is, say a blind person has dropped something important on the floor. If the object had a magnetic marker on it then another object made of iron or steel or some other metal that is attracted to magnets would help them find it.
Please feel free to tell me your opinion.
