movable floor tiles

Cool factor: Movable floor tiles

Developer: Hiroo Iwata

My take: These movable floor tiles are covered with KURALON® EC, a textile made of conductive fibers that detects in which direction you’re heading and then automatically arranges as you walk. They were part of the Tokyo Fiber ‘09 Senseware exhibition during the Milan furniture fair.
