Sounds interesting. Can you find it?
As a related note: considering the problems a magnet implant can cause you (as a person who recently had an MRI scan I'm quite happy I didn't get one), why not make something like Northpaw for sensing magnetism? Make it a ring that vibrates or a flexible wristband that contracts and expands in response to magnetic fields.
Sorry, I looked, but search results are polluted by Northpaw/Eric Boyd - it might have been the same guy though, maybe when he was prototyping. I remember someone doing blind figure-8s on their bike.
