Floor Mat Switch

Major Interactive - Soft Switch

* Materials:
- Floor Mat;
- Aluminium wire joined;
- Needle;
- Thread.


* Floor Mat.
- Best fabric : nylon. Nylon is versatile, durable and easy to maintain and clean. It withstands heavy traffic foot and it is the best option for high moisture area. But, nylon is a synthetic fibre and there aren't many people who use it as a floor mat because it may cause allergy for some people. (Information source : Spotlight).
- Chosen material : cotton. Cotton is a fabric that is soft and it is easy to maintain and clean. Cotton used as towel may get torn easily if it is used as a floor mat and if it is wet. But a cotton floor mat is designed and manufactured to be strong enough to hold the shoe rub. (Information source : Takashimaya Department Store staff).
* Aluminium wire join.
- Flexible and easy to bend wire.
- Conductive.


* Needle.
- Terrible sewing skill. In order to reduce the effect of the messy sewing pattern, similar in color thread is used to camouflage the pattern.


* Clipping and poking the mat to locate the points for sewing.



* Aluminium wire sewn on floor mat.
