The Spinali Design vibrating shorts allow the wearer to interact with their environment and could be the strangest invention showcased at the annual Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.
You may remember Spinali from their smart bikini, which told the wearer when theyd had too much sun. Now theyre tackling a slightly more
conservative market with smart pants.
The vibrating pants are available in a multitude of design options (shorts, regular jeans, 3/4 pants and skirts) and while there are big plans for developments in the future, they currently only function as a wearable GPS with sensors that vibrate left or right, steering you to your destination.
There is one slightly pervy feature which sounds mildly intriguing.
Its called ping and allows you to vibrate the sensors in the pants of someone sitting near you to get their attention.
This is useful for when you want to discreetly attract someones attention, or for open offices, or for students.

Didn't James Brown write a song about vibrating hot pants? Sex Machine?

Geez, Slings, I'm sorry... Forgot all about the NAPL until just now!
Given that these pants allow you to be "pinged" from afar, the NAPL is just the thing!

Be careful who get the remote to. Another "I'll have what she's having" moment...

With the Internet of things and connectivity, it’s only a matter of time before somebody hacks these pants.
A perfect stranger could have control of your pants.
Not to be a downer, just something to think about.

Are batteries included? I would imagine they have to be. Maybe some lithium variant.
OTOH, it might be possible to design a rechargeable battery charger that operates on repetitive motion, you know, like sashaying hips...
"The more wiggle in your walk, the more charge in your batteries" or something like that.

I prefer riding my Harley when I want to vibrate my jeans.

Forget left and right. With my plans for a couple
Peltier devices shoved right in the middle of your pants you can detect whether you are getting closer or farther from your destination by the "hotter/colder" method.

I remember some dates in high school where proximity to the destination could be determined by the “hotter/colder” method, and she didn’t even have a Peltier device on...

The pants might guide the wearer, but now she'll WANT to get lost.

We know EXACTLY what vibrating shorts are for! Rule 34. Yep - we have friends who got a big Chevy SUV with all the bells and whistles. I'm used to cars that give lane departure and other warnings by vibrating the steering wheel and this one vibrates the seat. Couldn't help but quip that it seemed to be a female-oriented special feature which would encourage bad driving habits....

It appears that one of the (nice) side effects is that they cause females to lose their, um, support garments, as well.
In any case, this thread is relevant to my interests.
