IBM has filed a patent for an intelligent multi-touch floor that is used to identify objects and react to certain events. IBM says that the floor could recognize emergencies by measuring heart rates of people lying on the floor or act as an alarm system when home intrusions are detected. The basic idea is simply to enable a room-sized multi-touch surface with “numerous sensors to identify shapes.” When an object is detected, the system compares it to a record in a connected database.
