Ping is a garment that connects to your Facebook account wirelessly and from anywhere. It allows you to stay connected to your friends and groups of friends simply by performing natural gestures that are built into the mechanics of the garments we wear. Lift up a hood, tie a bow, zip, button, and simply move, bend and swing to ping your friends naturally and automatically. No phone, no laptop, no hardware. Simply go about your day, look good and stay connected.
Ping exists as a fully functional prototype and this project is a narrative video collaboration between Electric Foxy, and Dos Rios.

im guessing they invited a few of the big mainstream artists in for the launch so they'd have something there.
i think 'ping' has the potential to be huge for music, mostly because of the 160million credit cards attached to it. last.fm has millions of users, but only a small percentage have their CC details in the system - then when they go buy something they're sent off to an affiliate site. with ping, its all done there and then - in app, on the screen etc.
(although first thing i did was see a way of setting up artists profiles...)
