Floored by Electronic Displays

Oh, the jokes one could make:
Technology firm Intellimat has patented a computer mat less than an inch thick that will turn retailers’ floors into yet another space for brands to advertise.
A floormat computer display. A nice idea for the office. Hmm. I just stepped in something unpleasant. Let me open Microsoft Word...

Seriously, though, in the past (even the present), floor graphics were a hot application for large-format printing, and now--like other types of signage--there is increased competition from electronic alternatives. Wait until vehicle graphics go electronic; I guess that day will see the end of my dreams for a drive-through large-format printer.
