1. Apparatus comprising:
a wireless dance mat configured to have a person dance in contacting engagement therewith, wherein the dance mat includes
at least two pressure sensors,
wherein each pressure sensor is configured to sense pressure applied to a respective corresponding sensing area of the dance mat associated with the pressure sensor, by person contact with the respective sensing area,
a wireless transceiver,
transmission controller circuitry,
wherein the transmission controller circuitry is in operative connection with the at least two pressure sensors and the wireless transceiver,
wherein the transmission controller circuitry is operative to cause
the transceiver to transmit signals, wherein the transmitted signals
are transmitted on a uniform periodic time basis and in a sequential order,
wherein each transmitted signal includes data indicative of
pressure sensed by each of the pressure sensors at a time of signal transmission, and
a position of the respective signal in the sequential order.
