Ionic - Magic Carpet Now

It is important to distinguish this from other technologies also referred to as "Magic Carpets":

A pressure-sensitive, knitted electronic textile that acts as a musical interface .

The technology requires complex sensors to prevent high-frequency deformations that make control difficult . Alternative "Magic Carpet" Technology Ionic - Magic Carpet

If you would like to explore this further, I can find information on:

These electrical waves push thin pockets of air from the front of the sheet to the rear, creating lift and thrust, allowing the plastic to float and move just above a surface . It is important to distinguish this from other

It is a 4-inch-wide sheet of conductive plastic that uses "ripple power" to create waves of electrical current .

An interactive, floor-projected, motion-responsive game system used in schools, hospitals, and therapy settings . It is a 4-inch-wide sheet of conductive plastic

Originally developed by Noah Jafferis in the lab of James Sturm at the Princeton Institute for the Science and Technology of Materials, the project emerged from research into printing electronics on flexible plastics .
