People have done a lot with projection mapping onto floors, but what if you made a giant LED display as your floor? BMW paired with ASB GlassFloor to create a full-LED video sports floor. It was installed in Munich at BMW Park at the home venue of FC Bayern Basketball.

This does offer advantages over pure projection mapping since there are no issues with occlusion shadows (though that’s a problem largely solved already by using multiple projectors in multiple locations).

Personally, it seems terribly distracting if you’re trying to actually play on it or watch live play – but seems to have has possibilities for live entertainment/concert events or possibly new kinds of games. One could imagine games in which the floor changes configuration/boundaries. Color could be used to mark out 2 and 3 point regions. Perhaps colors could indicate different bonus scoring is in effect, or to pulse to count down the last 10 seconds of gameplay, or perhaps indicate a penalty is in effect (though this would be best only indicated as changes to the perimeter colors).
