For a haunted house, you walk across these floor tiles
that
utilize linticular printing to give the effect of movement
as
your viewing angle changes when you walk across
them.
So as you enter the room, the first angle shows, for
instance, a
rickety
rope bridge over a massive canyon
heaving precariously
to the left, but as you
move forward on it, it appears to swing to the right.
There's no movement but your eyes might be tricked into
thinking there is and walking across this as it appears
to heave back and forth might be challenging in a giggle
producing way.
Boat deck on a haunted pirate ship, a tightrope at the
circus, maybe the ledge of a building during an
earthquake.
Luneburg microlens array
You could use this idea for more convincing illusion [xaviergisz, Oct 20 2020]

Better put that in whutzisname's Hitlermagiggy noticer. |

Less of that, Sergeant, or we'll introduce you to a couple of subordinates you won't be pleased to encounter; Corporal Punishment, and Private Suffering. |

How do you mitigate the inevitable scuffs and scratches from foot traffic ? Unless you install this in a mosque, you'll have to work around the problem that very few patrons are going to show up in carpet slippers or bring their bowling shoes... |

You can have lenticular (and more generally microlens) arrays
which are covered in a flat layer transparent. This typically
requires the lenses to be made of a higher refractive index
than available for polymers. |

I'm surprised you left out General Mayhem. |

He's having lunch with Col. Panic and Maj. Malfunction, obvs. |

//floor tiles that utilize linticular printing// -
"linticular printing" is of course the embedding into
the floor by passing foot-traffic of the lint fallout
from a particularly active washer/dryer. |

I was thinking partons would show up in carpet slippers or
bring their bowling shoes. |

And you know, I was thinking of cutting and pasting but I
thought "You're too busy to be doing this stuff, people
depend on you, just type it, that'll save time!" |
|

I type incredibly fast and incredibly horribly. I don't even
bother to look at those little red dots that say "What the
hell is a ptaron?" |
