Other people have also been inspired by the wired article, see for instance the other Eric: [http://www.exothermia.net/monkeys_and_robots/2009/02/04/on-the-haptic-compass/ On the Haptic Compass] - I've worn this belt and it's actually very intuitive.  Note that he used 12 motors.  There are many helpful links to parts (sensors, cables, vibrators, Arduinos, etc) in both the article and the comments.

I am especially intrigued by Todd's idea of a <i>"“foveated” motor distribution, where you have, say, three motors spaced narrowly across the forehead/belly, and the rest spread out around the less crucial sides and back. This might give you high accuracy where it counts (at the leading edge of most movement) without sacrificing too much function along the rest of the arc."</i>
 
You can read about an experience with our compass anklets (now called North Paw) at [http://www.quinnnorton.com/said/?tag=northpaw Quinn Said].
 
We have put up a new website devoted the kits and products from the noisebridge cyborg group, called [http://sensebridge.net/ sensebridge.net], there are kits of the North Paw compass vibro anklet available there.

We have posted complete instructions on how to make the [http://sensebridge.net/projects/northpaw/instructions North Paw kit].
