Futuristic Floor

This futuristic and interactive floor brought to you by Rogier Sterk as the designer. This futuristic floor will leaves pedestrians footprints on the floor and will be visible for a minute after someone walking across this futuristic floor.
Wherever someone walks across this futuristic floor and touches the surface with the weight of his/her foot, the floor will generate light prints that displaces some or most of the fluid.

The light prints takes about a minute to disappear completely, and will be vanish as the pedestrian proceeds. This futuristic and interactive floor consists a modular system of tiles, with measures 1000×1000x75mm for each tile. A link cable are easely connected on the tiles.

The top layer is designed from a strong material and scratch-resistant, and only available in blue, red, and green. However, this futuristic floor can hold weight up to 250kg per square meter.

This futuristic floor is applicable for most places such as entrances to office buildings, restaurants, bars, shops, cinemas, waiting rooms, departmentstores, airports and also canbe done for temporary installations like catwalks and stands.

This futuristic floor has specification 4×15W T1 CCFL lamptype, lumiance 4×30kcd/m2,
50.000h for lamplife, less than 120sec on warmingup, 500000 switching capabilities, voltage 230V AC50/60Hz, IP54, -10 till 40C temperature range, 1 fire class.

Though you can use common detergents used at home for cleaning the tiles, but I believe using self-polishing wax suitable for protecting syntetic and other resilient floors (rubber, PVC, and linoleum) will give the best result for this futuristic floor.
