OK, managed to get almost all of the details wrong. 1) It was part of the Feelspace experiment (http://feelspace.cogsci.uos.de) 2) it used a custom belt with a magnetic compass (not GPS) and vibrators (no cell phones). 3) the north-pointing vibrator pad was vibrating *all the time*. See discussion of it and other sensory enhancements/cross-linking in WiReD article here: http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/15.04/esp_pr.html -- Mark J. Reed <markjreed@...>
