<font color="blue">"As a proof-of-concept, Infineon created a small section of 'smart' carpet... [that] incorporates robust encapsulated integrated capacitive sensors that act as touch detectors and LEDs as display elements. A carpet equipped with these chips and with this electronic architecture could thus be used as a motion or fire detector. The more densely the sensor elements are arranged, the more precise the results of measurement. At the same time, the integrated LEDs support use of the high-tech carpet as a control system that can be used in public buildings to mark walking routes and control the flow of visitors or to mark escape routes in an emergency."</font>
I could see where this could make for an interesting movie theatre where the walls and ceilings would be part of the screen. First, Surround Sound, now Surround Light.
