Pressure Sensors

I started to look at what pressure sensors there are, and by looking i can see there is quite a few, some that measure gas annd liquids, but the one i thoug woud be more suitable for my project would be the "Pressure Switch"
Pressure Switch-  this is a form of switch that makes electrial contect when pressure as reached to the input. This is used to provide on/off switching from a pneumatic or hydraulic source. the switch is could be designed for either pressure rise of pressure fail.

when looking pressure sensors I found this video and this is the kind of thing i want to do, but as a bigger scale.

    This seems like a neat way to make a pressure sensor! You would need to think about the surface area of your 'foot tile' (ie where the foot would go to create pressure) and what kind of spring you could use to generate an even distribution of that pressure. Also have a think about where you want the LEDs to be positioned...
