Make your Floor a big Touch Screen

touch floor

This multitouch floor was designed by researchers at Postdam, at the Hasso Plattner Institut. It is designed to respond to a person’s individual’s shoe pattern, and will identify them by footprint alone.

For example, there is some sort of program that allows the user to draw on the floor with their feet. That might not be much, but the multitouch is able to replicate a QWERTY keyboard that is somehow able to recognize the tip of the foot.

It would appear that the small multitouch floor is all they have now, but I can’t help but wonder what would happen if every floor was a multitouch. I’m thinking of something better than having an instant floor for Twister. I’m talking about floors that know who you are and what you are doing, or about to do.
