Footlume

Rumor has it the two inventors from London South Bank University got fed up with using their mobile phones to light up their doorways when coming home late. So they built a prototype of an electroluminescent rug that lights up when you walk across it.

“Responsive surface” such as their “Footlume” may be the NBT (next big thing) in interiors. Think about the applications: a rug that lights up when you step on it could replace night lights around the house, in kid’s rooms and bathrooms.

 

Or they can provide ambient mood, flash in time to music, or simply act as a talking point at a party."

The electroluminescent rug uses rechargeable batteries and that may be its weakest sales point unless the lady inventors from LSBU can also figure out a different wireless power supply.
