Living Ecosystem Tiles for Pure Air
Modular living floor tiles that house self-sustaining mini ecosystems—moss and micro-plants that purify air while changing color based on pollutants detected. Each tile contains sensors and communicates wirelessly with neighboring tiles, functioning like an ant colony to collectively optimize air purification.
A commuter steps into their car after it's been parked in the sun all day—the floor tiles have shifted from deep green to vibrant orange, indicating they've absorbed and filtered 80% of the volatile organic compounds that built up, and as they start the car, the tiles ripple back to green as the purified air releases.
