How is that supposed to work with a modern surface heating system and low flow temperature, and what would be the benefit?
Sounds like electric heating. Not permitted in new construction.
I also don’t see any comfort advantage. I don’t want the room to be heated only once I enter it. I prefer as uniform temperatures as possible throughout my living spaces.
I also don’t want to stand on a warm surface that tries to quickly heat the surrounding air. To me, that sounds like “hotspots.” It’s very unhealthy, even though some women hope for warm feet from underfloor heating (and fortunately don’t get them).
And assuming this is electric heating, the energy consumption would be too expensive for me.
There’s nothing smart about app control either. Smart would be a heating system that senses the user’s location and automatically adjusts the temperature accordingly. Having to control the heating around me every time I move between rooms is 19th-century technology, no matter how fancy the controller looks.
Last but not least, I imagine that integrating the heating into the floor covering would limit my choice of flooring options.
The more I think about it, the more this reminds me of electric underfloor heating systems from the 1980s/1990s. Is that what you mean? If not, what’s the difference?

Basically, everything has already been said. Usually, such a system is far too inefficient, too slow, too energy-consuming, and so on.
You also want a room to be fully heated when you enter it, not to start heating only upon entering, because then it’s actually too late.
A comfortable car heating system preheats the interior, so you get in to a warm space.
