title = "Z-tiles: Building blocks for modular, pressure-sensing floorspaces",
abstract = "A new interactive floorspace has been developed which uses modular nodes connected together to create a pressure-sensitive area of varying size and shape, giving it the potential to be integrated into an interactive environment. The floorspace uses an array of force-sensitive resistors on each node to detect pressure, and that pressure information is output by way of a self-organised network formed by the floor nodes. This paper describes the pressure sensing and network systems, suggests potential applications of the floorspace, and introduces the further research on in-network data aggregation being carried out using the system's framework.",
