Ionic - Magic Carpet Direct

A pressure-sensitive, knitted electronic textile that acts as a musical interface .

The technology requires complex sensors to prevent high-frequency deformations that make control difficult . Alternative "Magic Carpet" Technology Ionic - Magic Carpet

Early prototypes could move at a rate of 1 centimeter per second, with goals to increase speed . These electrical waves push thin pockets of air

These electrical waves push thin pockets of air from the front of the sheet to the rear, creating lift and thrust, allowing the plastic to float and move just above a surface . creating lift and thrust

It is important to distinguish this from other technologies also referred to as "Magic Carpets":

An early, high-voltage "ionic lifter" described by Popular Mechanics as a "magic carpet of the future" in an article featuring Major de Seversky .
