Pavegen Systems is a UK technology company that developed interactive floor tiles to convert footsteps into small amounts of electrical energy, data insights, and engagement points for global brands, businesses, and governments.
[3] The development of the first prototype of the Pavegen flooring tile was funded by a Royal Society of Arts International Design Directions prize.
[12] It has been suggested that the technology's strength rests in its ability to track volume and direction of traffic flow, thus providing useful metrics in a range of scenarios.
[14] PaveGen has also put these tiles on a public soccer field in Rio de Janeiro to allow play after sunset.
[23] An article published by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers shows the image of a display out in public, which is located near a passage way which has been retrofitted with Pavegen's floor tiles.
