Spidey sense is on its way! From Engadget via BoingBoing - Tactile display could convey signals on soldiers' backs:
. . . a new vibrating vest could give "body language" an entirely new meaning. Joining the air-conditioned and insulating renditions, this snazzy vest features a "tactile display" on the back, which is created by 16 small vibrating motors that are connected to an internal wireless control unit. The jacket "writes symbols and messages on its wearer's back," and while the actual writing resembles Braille more than text, it can supposedly be used to "send important commands to soldiers or firefighters, warning them of imminent danger when ordinary radios cannot be used."
So does my spidey-sense detect danger to my groin, or is my "tactile display" just happy to see me?
