_
This idea was inspired by many years of playing soccer on the turf. Chameleon Turf is an adaptive athletic surface that can morph into any type of playing field. The synthetic grass acts as a giant LED screen displaying only the field boundaries that are currently in use. _ Concept, Interactive Design, Environmental Design, Animation |

The Problem
Multipurpose athletic fields are covered in an array of colored lines from all the various sports. These lines are disorienting and make it hard for athletes to navigate the correct field boundaries. Photo taken at University of Delaware Athletic Practice Field |

Research
Lighting company Philips teamed up with carpeting company Desso to create light-up carpet to provide directions, information and decoration. http://www.cnet.com/news/led-light-up-carpet-helps-you-find-your-way/ http://www.gizmag.com/philips-led-carpet/29865/ |

The Solution
Chameleon Turf applies the technology from the LED carpet to display the various lines on the field.
A large touchscreen screen would allow athletes to select the field they wish to display.
