With the advent of in-car GPS navigation systems, designers have been trying to solve the problem of conveying direction information without distracting the driver - causing them to navigate into a tree, for example. Unfortunately, the systems which 'speak' directions become very annoying after a short
period of use. The voices remind you variously of an old school teacher, a home-shopping presenter or a physics professor reading out the "Brief History of Time".
Another solution is to transmit simple positioning information by means of vibrating earings...
These desirable accessories would vibrate alternately depending on whether you need to turn left or right, if both vibrate you're going the wrong way.
You may correctly surmise that guys wouldn't wear these, but then we seldom admit we need directions anyway...

Non gender specific: vibrate the left or right buttock through the seat. |

And, of course, vibrating GPS nipple rings. |

Quite confident a unique combination of these words, even in this day an age :) |

This is just like the "Aural Courses" in the 1930's for airplane navigation... the pilot listened to alternate beeping to figure out if he was on the center of the radio navigational course. If anybody has a link for that... it'd be appreciated. |
