Vibrating GPS rings could make traversing foreign lands easier

To be quite honest, there’s been an awful lot of gadgetry lately tied to rings, and while it’s a curious fascination, you won’t find us griping over the latest ring-based device. Gail Knight’s vibrating GPS hoops are nothing short of a traveler’s dream come true, as these fanciful finger adornments work in conjunction with a neck-worn GPS controller to direct you to your destination via simple buzzing cues. The rings vibrate in a variety of manners to instruct the wearer which direction to go, which could certainly help an English tourist in Japan feel a lot more at home. Granted, even the inventor admits that the current design is entirely more suited for a lady, but we can envision quite a few macho gents putting their pride aside in order to refrain from being lost.
