There are a number of companies doing this.  Two of them are:
PlayMotion! By Greg Roberts www.playmotion.com/movies
And Gesturetek http://www.gesturetek.com/groundfx/introduction.php
There was one other company that put out units used by a Children's Museum
in Richmond, Virginia, but I can't recall their name.  You might check with
the museum exhibit staffs to check out the popularity of the units.
Sometimes what adults find interesting, kids do not.  A couple conversations
with staff that actually work in the museums on the floors can be *very*
revealing.  The software choices are key to this operation.

Does anyone know of a supplier of the video motion sensor floor displays?
The scenes change and children seem to love chasing the fish or butterflies
along the floor.  I have seen them at malls and museums - most recently at
the Toronto Science Center.  Please reply off list - thanks!
