New Tile Can Help You Stick to Diet

Castellon, Spain, February 7, 2008--Tau Ceramica has invented Diet Floor, a "smart" talking ceramic floor that will talk to you whenever you spend too much time on top of it at the wrong times.

In other words: you go to the kitchen in between meals, stop in front of the refrigerator, and it will shout something like "Watch out for those extra pounds!" or something like that.

And it gets even better when you install them in an office environment.

Then, the tile will turn from diet helper to employee admonisher: If you spend too much time in front of the water cooler or the coffee machine, it will say things like "You should be working now."

The Diet Floor tiles have weight sensors and a CPU that controls different parameters. They can even detect individual people and record their activity in front of the fridge, as well as personalizing it to shout different messages according to the person on top.
