Shoulder pads coded to incoming cell phone numbers

Shoulder Pad Insert Vibrotactile Display describes a project that taps on your shoulder(pad) to let you know who's calling on your cell phone - similar to custom ring tones — coded to incoming phone numbers. “This way, when you are in a meeting you have a better idea of who is trying to contact you and you are not always pulling your phone out to see who is calling,”

There's really much more to the project than that, but that was my favorite part.
