SMART CEILING AND FLOOR TILES
In one embodiment, a ceiling tile, configured to be positioned above a given area, comprises a plurality of sensors and a plurality actuators embedded within the ceiling tile, each sensor configured to sense a corresponding feature of the area, and each actuator configured to modify a corresponding feature of the area. The plurality of sensors and plurality of actuators are configured to interact with a controlling device that controls a plurality of ceiling tiles for the area. In another embodiment, one or more floor tiles with one or more sensors (e.g., and actuators) may also be located within the area, and the controlling device further controls the floor tiles, accordingly.
