The Floor Scale is an initiative which introduces computing to the floor space. We have worked with special flooring from Steelcase to create an inexpensive system of floor sensors (third generation) which can sense where a person is and where they have moved within a room.
Current and future experiments include: triggering an appliance to teach a skill; recall a previous activity by that person (I.e. retracing steps); and encouraging people to circulate to another group in a party social floor. a party social floor.
