Whoa what the fuck? How does it even work? It looked like you can control the direction the floor itself is moving the things on it (the way they are "force pushing" the box or when the old guy is in the chair) but it also looked like it wasn't even moving, or uses power.
This shit looks like magic.
Seems to be a lot of cylindrical pillars with pressure sensors and motors, that can be tilted by a slight degree in both X-Y axes, or they have a fixed tilt and just the tilt direction is rotated in Z (seems like the pillars of a whole module get adjusted all at once), making only some borders be in contact with an object. A program can track the position of an object, then calculate how to tilt and rotate the pillars so the borders in contact with the object will push it in the desired direction.
