New Concept of tile with kinetic effect for public spaces

The compulsory movement of the travel on transports infrastructures suggested the use of kinetic tiles as a new
ceramic's element. Here the perception of the kinetic effect
happens naturally while walking, introducing a new effect on
the subject perception, either just morphing colours, figures
or words (that might be used to identifying spaces
and directions).
