Interactive Floor: Immersive Projection Technology for Family Entertainment Centers

The Interactive Floor is a projection-based entertainment system that transforms an ordinary floor into a dynamic, motion-responsive play surface. Designed for family entertainment centers, amusement parks, indoor playgrounds, and kids activity zones, Interactive Floor enables full-body interaction through movement, steps, and group play.

Developed as part of the interactive attraction lineup by UTS Play, the Interactive Floor — also known as Floorium — is built for high visitor flow, minimal maintenance, and flexible use across different entertainment scenarios.

What Is an Interactive Floor?

An Interactive Floor is an immersive digital attraction where content is projected directly onto the floor and reacts to players’ movements in real time. Children interact naturally by walking, running, jumping, and stepping on virtual elements — no controllers, wearables, or touchscreens required.

This format makes Interactive Floor especially effective for:

• family entertainment centers (FECs)

• amusement and theme parks

• indoor playgrounds

• kids clubs and soft play areas

• edutainment and mixed-use venues

Why Interactive Floor Works in Entertainment Spaces

Floor-based interaction is intuitive even for very young children. Players do not need instructions — they simply step onto the projection and start playing.

For entertainment operators, Interactive Floor solves several key challenges:

• attracts attention instantly with bright, moving visuals

• supports high player throughput without queues

• keeps children active and physically engaged

• works as a shared attraction for groups and families

Interactive Floor fits naturally into open play zones and complements traditional attractions without increasing mechanical complexity.

How the Interactive Floor System Works

Interactive Floor is a complete hardware and software solution designed for continuous operation in public entertainment venues.

Overhead Projection System

A high-performance projector is mounted above the play area, creating a bright and clearly visible image on the floor surface. The projection adapts to different floor sizes and room layouts, making the system suitable for both compact and large spaces.

Smart Motion Sensors

Integrated sensors track movement and steps across the entire projection area. The system detects multiple players at the same time and responds instantly to their actions.

Control Unit and Software Platform

A dedicated control unit processes sensor data and synchronizes it with interactive content in real time. The software is optimized for smooth gameplay, fast response, and stable performance during long operating hours.

Key Features of Interactive Floor for FECs

Full-Body Active Play

Interactive Floor encourages children to move, jump, and explore the play area physically — an important advantage for modern family entertainment centers focused on active play.

Multi-Player Interaction

Several children can play simultaneously without equipment or setup time, making the attraction ideal for high-traffic zones.

Flexible Installation

The system adapts to various floor sizes and layouts and can be installed in both new venues and existing entertainment spaces.

Low Maintenance and High Reliability

With no mechanical parts in the play area, Interactive Floor minimizes wear and reduces maintenance costs compared to traditional attractions.

Use Cases in Family Entertainment Centers and Parks

Central Play Zones

Interactive Floor works well as a central attraction that naturally draws children into active play.

Indoor Playgrounds

The system enhances soft play and open-floor areas by adding digital interaction without reducing physical safety.

Weather-Independent Attractions

In amusement parks, Interactive Floor provides an engaging indoor option that works regardless of weather conditions.

Interactive Floor as Part of a Modular Attraction Concept

Interactive Floor can be used as a standalone attraction or combined with other interactive systems, such as interactive walls, to create a complete digital play zone. This modular approach allows entertainment venues to expand their interactive offering gradually without replacing existing equipment.
