1. A method for indicating a direction, said method comprising:

  • coupling a plurality of indicating devices to a user device, the user device configured to be worn by a user;

    coupling a processor to the plurality of indicating devices;

    configuring the processor to;

    determine orientation data regarding an orientation of the user device;

    transmit a signal including the orientation data to a control system that is remote from the user, the signal having a pre-defined signal signature configured for comparison to criteria stored in the control system, and the control system configured for identifying the user device as one or both of an active target and an active tracking device based on the pre-defined signal signature;

    receive positional data from the control system if the user device is identified as the active tracking device, the positional data associated with a target location; and

    selectively actuate at least one indicating device of the plurality of indicating devices based on the positional data, wherein the plurality of indicating devices are configured to provide non-visual feedback to the user when actuated.
