The Center for Really Neat Research (CRNR)
Magic R.U.G.
The Magic R.U.G. (Robust Underfoot Gadget) demonstrates the pressure-sensitive conductive plastic material
that is being used in conjunction with TNG-3 and NeatTools. Different sounds can be played by stepping
on different areas of the rug. Different octaves are sounded by the amount of pressure applied by the foot.
There are also digital switches that are incorporated into some of the tiles. This application can be used
for various purposes with various rugs. For example, teaching letters, numbers and shapes with sound
and physical interaction.
