Abstract

See full text

In a process for informing a user regarding the position of an information source relative to the user's position, the position of an information source is first determined relative to the user. Thereafter, a tactile or electrical stimulus is generated, for directly affecting the user in a location that corresponds to the determined position of the information source. In one embodiment of the invention, tactile or electrical actuators are disposed at locations within a garment, such as a pilot's uniform at locations which correspond to possible locations of the information source.
