The floor is a 5×6 grid of thick HDPE cutting boards raised up on a 2×4 lumber frame. Each cell has a Neopixel ring and a single force-sensitive resistor to detect pressure on the pad.

[imsolidstate] built his own pressure sensitive mat. It utilizes two discs of copper clad board with a piece of foam in between for each of 64 sensors. As the foam gets compressed, the capacitance … ...

Can sensing technology improve and quantify yoga practice? The makers of a prototype device called the SmartMat, a yoga mat with embedded sensor technology, reckon it can. At the time of writing ...

In fact, the pressure-sensing insoles themselves are 3D-printed. First, a flexible base layer of silicone and cellulose nanoparticles is laid down. Next, a conductive silver ink is used to print ...

Smart floors could soon be part of our smart homes. Scientists in Germany have developed a high-resolution pressure-sensitive floor that can accurately keep track of people and furniture in rooms ...

Smart phones are part of everyday life, now scientists at the Hasso-Plattner Institute in Potsdam Germany have developed a smart floor. It is a high-resolution, pressure- sensitive floor that can ...
