Touch_Me Interactive Carpet

Touch_Me is an interactive carpet developed by Juliette Sallin that animates when it senses the presence of a person. Using shape memory wires and pressure sensors, the carpet — which resembles a bed of sprouts or mushrooms— moves when it detects any pressure. I’d love to actually see a video of the movement and motion. Regardless of the embedded electronics, the design of the spore-like carpet alone seems quite fun to play on.
