Flexel - Modular Floor Interface

Overview

This paper presents Flexel, a modular floor interface for room-scale tactile sensing. The system consists of modular floor sensor units with guidelines for cost-performance optimization. Through the system, we can infer touch location, track user location, recognize foot gestures, and detect object locations.

  • Touch location inference
  • User location tracking
  • Foot gesture recognition
  • Object location detection
  • Room-scale deployment
  • Cost-performance optimization
