color assignment

Colors are assigned to tiles based on the Bayer mosaic pattern (Created by Bryce Bayer for Kodak) used in digital cameras. The idea behind using this pattern is not to create a photo quality image on the video screen, but to allow the possibility of creating an image of true colors by merging colors of Red, Green, and Blue. See the Bayer setup below.

:: Twice as many Greens as Reds or Blues because Green carries luminance information that the human eye uses to see finer details
:: The Bayer pattern uses bordering pixels and

Bayery Pattern in use

:: All active tiles will be velocity sensitive and will change in color intensity based on the velocity value when stepped on by the user
 


Velocity sensitive tiles:
low velocity = light colored tile
High velocity = vibrant colored tile

 
color change based on velocity
   
:: The Red, Green, and Blue intensity values will vary depending on the velocity of each step
::

Tiles will stay lit as long as in the 'On' state - being stepped on.
