McGill University in Montreal creates haptic Floor
My source called tile floor Augmented Reality, but I do not think it's really the “Augmented Reality”. I saw that the Augmented Reality technology to better use the webcams. This special design feature allows your feet different sensations, you need to type.
Perhaps a better description of this product is a modular system “tactile paving. It has a label “deformable suspended on a platform that the user the ability to allow a floor with a different meaning on foot. I think it works with the plate and the platform sensors that can detect the forces of the foot, then lift it to simulate the characteristic vibrations, the feeling of walking, what to be on foot. It is even projecting downwards and speakers to use visual information and sound.
Seriously, that's what he does. I have no idea what you want to use. I mean, you need a floor that you feel surfaces such as sand, snow, grass or even stones have?
I think it will help the crisis in the snow under your feet, or the lightness of the grass. If it is the sand, then I wonder if it is the warm sand of the beach that you burn your feet. Impress your friends with it, for sure.
