1. A computing system locating system, comprising:
a computing system that includes a computing system light emitting device that is configured to emit light to provide a computing system locating signal; and
a vibration-based location indication system that includes:
a light detection subsystem that is configured to detect the computing system locating signal via the light emitted from the computing system light emitting device included on the computing system;
a vibration subsystem that is configured to vibrate; and
a location indication subsystem that is coupled to the light detection subsystem and the vibration subsystem, wherein the location indication subsystem is configured to:
determine that the light detection subsystem has detected the computing system locating signal via the light emitted from the computing system light emitting device included on the computing system; and
drive, in response to determining that the light detection subsystem has detected the computing system locating signal, the vibration subsystem to produce a vibration that is configured to indicate the location of the computing system.
