In sixth-sense terms, I once heard of experiments with a belt which would vibrate to indicate magnetic north. Apparently people really missed it when they had to give it up.

You're thinking of North Paw, perhaps, which is an anklet (https://sensebridge.net/projects/northpaw/)

Commercialized: > The original idea for North Paw comes from research done at University of Osnabrück in Germany. In this study, rather than an anklet, the researchers used a belt. They wore the belt non-stop for six weeks, and reported successive stages of integration.

Where I’ve lived my entire life I have a long river immediately due south of me that runs east to west parallel, years ago I internalise north as away from the river.

It’s really discomfiting when I’m away and lose track of that completely.
