x-surface
This mat can sense the steps to simulate sound textures under your feets.
The x-surface is an e-textile sensor mat used to make playful and expressive scenographies. Walking on the leaves, walking on the snow, walking in the puddles, walking on, walking on the moon. This idea came from a series of interactives floor projects like the Giant keyboard made for people with disabilities, or the development of the Surface project used for events and shrooms. Knitted with a 3D structure this sensor mat is made up of a network of e-textile switches that resist against the stresses of the steps.
