This Sublimely Trippy Floor Responds to My Every Captivated Step [Geekschoolprojects]

http://cache.gawker.com/assets/image...amicground.jpgHere's something beautiful: a mechanical garden that responds to your step. It makes me feel like I'm in Wonderland.
Dynamic Ground is a kinetic floor developed by Adam Lassy and Adi Marom for NYU's ITP Winter Show. Each interconnected hexagon is operated by a central motor connected to a light censor. When someone walks on the platform and covers the sensor, the design underneath either expands or contracts, depending on its resting state. It's not walking on sunshine so much as stepping on snowflakes. [ITP Winter Show]
