Tæppedyr

Tæppedyr is an intelligent carpet that measures and reacts on the level of noise in children daycare centers.

Tæppedyr is a carpet where small virtual animals/ghosts move around children when the level of noise is healthy.
If the level surpass more than 35 dB - they disappear (WHO recommends that the level of noise does not surpass 35 dB).

Functions:
if...the animals disappears they are off for 10 minutes

SCENARIO: SLOW IN MOVEMENT AND QUIET IN SOUND
if....ONE CHILD is on the carpet, play with slowly movements and low sound - there's animals/ghosts around her/him

if...MORE CHILDREN are on the carpet, play quietly in movement and sound - there's animals/ghosts around them and they reproduce

if...AN ADULT (measured by weight qua press sensors) is on the carpet, and the children play quietly in movement and sound - the animals/ghosts disappear.
if...THE ADULT walks away - the animals/ghosts appear immediately

SCENARIO: TOO MUCH NOISE + SLOW MOTION
if...ONE CHILD is on the carpet, play with slowly movements but makes more noise than 35 dB - the animals/ghosts around her/him disappears

if...MORE CHILDREN are on the carpet, play with slowly movements but makes more noise than 35 dB - the animals/ghosts around them disappears

*SCENARIO: TOO VIOLENT MOTION + HEALTHY LEVEL OF SOUND
if...ONE CHILD is on the carpet, play violently (movements) and keeps a healthy level of noise (less than 35 dB) - the animals/ghosts around her/him disappears as long as there's violent motion and the animals/ghosts appear after 5 sec.

*if...MORE CHILDREN are on the carpet, play violently (movements) and keep a healthy level of noise (less than 35 dB) - the animals/ghosts around them disappears as long as there's violent motion and the animals/ghosts appear after 5 sec.
