Turkish Designer Soner Özenç has made an illuminated prayer rug that will point the owner towards Mecca. The Sajjdah 1426 makes use of electroluminescent phosphor printing. How did Soner come up with the name, sajjdah, means prayer rug and 1426 was the year of the Islamic calendar that 2005 fell under. The rug is designed to glow brighter when it is pointed towards Mecca thanks to an embedded compass.

This certainly takes the cake as the coolest, most high-tech prayer instrument I have ever seen and makes me want to get some electro-luminescence happening in my own home.

No price on this because it is a concept, but I am fairly sure that you could make Soner an offer.
