It's an extremely exciting research result. The floor seems to mirror, but his reflection in it you will not see. Instead, the computer generates your twin, which moves along with you. A prototype floor that senses your every step and displays interactive video could one day bring strange sights and new possibilities into your home. The prototype consists of a glass plate with thickness 6.4 cm, and an infrared camera and a video projector with high resolution, installed below the floor in the room to monitor the movement of people and transfer the video directly on the glass.
For instance, to play a version of indoor soccer, the floor generates a CGI football that can be kicked about by the people in the room. Or if someone sits on the floor, the system recognises who they are by their precise weight and flips a TV on to their favourite channel. Similarly, an elderly person's activity levels could be monitored.
