This carpet is made of tiny flexible flaps. Normally they stick straight up. They're made in such a way that when you step on them, they all bend down the same way, moving you in that direction slightly a la Artificial Donwhill Active Cobblestones.
Most useful in stores, where almost everyone goes
the same way, or in businesses, where they don't want you to leave.

When it comes to puns, the cilia the better.
This idea could involve some hairy engineering issues. |

Let's get some pundits to try and furret them out. |
