Haptic Garment

From David Pescovitz at BoingBoing comes word about this new haptic garment to help athletic performance being developed in the Netherlands:
Eventually, sensors in the garments will measure the speed at which the rower moves and how they coordinate their leg and body movements. If the rower deviates from the optimum speed or rhythm, pads worn at the ankle and waist start vibrating at the correct stroke intervals to help the rower recapture the
winning action.
I don't know abut you but this is starting to go too far for me.
