Abstract (en)
In the present technique for controlling physical access of a user with respect to a designated area, one or more electromagnetic floor elements are positioned within the designated area. A current controller varies an electric current provided to the electromagnetic floor elements based on instructions received by the current controller, through a communication interface of the current controller. The instructions are indicative of an amount of electric current to be provided to the electromagnetic floor elements. One or more ferromagnetic elements are positioned on the user such that the ferromagnetic elements generate a haptic feedback, perceivable by the user, when the user is within the designated area. The haptic feedback is generated in response to the strength of magnetic field resulting from the ferromagnetic elements which in turn depends upon the amount of electric current provided to the electromagnetic floor elements.
