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 they’d had too much sun. Now they’re 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.

It’s 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 someone’s attention, or for open offices, or for students.’

NOW Levi Strauss is acting like a bunch of Dick’s! That is, like Dick’s Sporting Goods, if you recall.
