I can no longer edit, but if anybody is curious what the prototype "zapper" thing looked like:

http://thingist.com/t/item/20483/

This was something I put together over an evening, so it's really rough (just a PoC). What I was actually doing here was tying the electrodes to different events on my webserver. The idea here being that the "force feedback", could indicate to me how much traffic was hitting different areas.

I almost constantly tail -f /var/log/apache/access_log. This was supposed to be a wearable version of that :).

(The project, for me, changed a bit after this. What I'm working on now is a general purpose haptic device that can be tied to arbitrary inputs around your environment)
