The Carpet is the interactive product which explores a border between tradition and technology, solid and liquid, illusion and reality. The project itself is a manipulation by user’s perception. There is real carpet as a physical thing and projection of the traditional Persian pattern. This is a projection of carpet to the carpet. When user step on the carpet computer generates ripple effect and the user observe “waves” under her/his foots. 
Technically there are 15 sensors under the carpet connected to Arduino board. Ripple effect programmed with Processing code and uploaded to Arduino.
