Stuck Design: a contactless elevator button

The innovation of the day are elevators designed from the start to limit the transmission of viruses.

You will no longer need to touch the buttons to choose your floor.

The control panel will be exactly like the one today.

But as soon as his finger hovers over a button, it will light up without having to be touched.

And when you really want to press on it to validate the stage, it will suffice to mimic the movement in the air, as if you were pressing in a vacuum.

There is no risk of pressing by mistake?

When the elevator is crowded, for example.

No, because the radar used is able to tell the difference between a finger, a person's back or a large piece of cardboard.

It was Stuck Design who developed this system.

It is far from being the only one.

There are also elevators controlled by pedals, so with the feet.

But which, suddenly, are unusable in a wheelchair.

Or hologram buttons, but which can be confusing (we don't know how it works anymore).

Advantage of this system: it is as intuitive as it is inclusive.

There is even a variant with small jets of air that are blown on your hand to have a tactile sensation.

Even the blind who read in Braille will be able to use it without recovering all the miasma lying around.

Could we imagine the same thing for distributors and touch screens?

We are working on it.

With, again, a radar which detects the position of the hand in the air and which then functions like a computer mouse.

This shows how far we have come since the start of the pandemic.

Initially, we were content to put hydro alcoholic gel.

Now technology is taking over.

We will see more and more equipment designed from the outset to operate without contact.
