Panasonic Makes Creepy Furry Snake Heaters

Jason Chen — Tue, 01 May 2007 18:45:28 EDT

Panasonic demoed a "No-Constraints Carpet" concept recently, and for once we're glad this thing is still a concept. It's a carpet/rug that's shaped like a furry snake in order to mimic the feel of a hot pet. The hot part? That comes from small heating elements buried inside.

In essence, you've got a gigangic furry snake thing you can step on, wrap around, and caress whenever you want. Hmmm, on second thought, Panasonic? Make these now! – Jason Chen
