Ping clothing is designed to give the wearer alerts thanks to embedded electronics and haptics meaning the garment will provide tactile feedback. Think of something along the lines of a tap on the shoulder. While Ping in particular is a commercial application directly tied to social networking media, imagine the same technology in a tactical garment. It could alert you to an incoming message or the tactical network calls stand to and your shirt squeezes your shoulders to rouse you awake. Or perhaps it could be used for inaudible cues within a small unit. The possibilities are endless. Hopefully we will see a viable version of such technology integrated into a Soldier ensemble.
