Microsoft patents ‘vibrating’ floor mat that stops you from crashing into furniture

It may seem absurd but Microsoft is working on a floor mat; not the regular dumb mat, but a special version that would enhance virtual reality (VR) experience while playing on an Xbox.

The patent for the floor mat describes it as a computing device that could prevent users from crashing into furniture while experiencing new worlds in VR by providing haptic feedback through vibrations, Engadget reports.
