STUCK Design Pte Ltd. is offering Kinetic Touchless, a new kind of interaction for touchless lift buttons that mirror your finger movements to recreate the tactile response of actually pushing a button.
With contactless interactions on the rise in the face of #COVID19 – other virii and pandemics are also available, Ed this sort of invention can surely only be a good thing.
The designers told us that most touchless technology usually just offers static sensor with a light or buzz to indicate an activated button, greatly diminishing the feel of a push button interaction.
We haven’t tried it ourself but we are assured by several locals in Singapore that this Kinetic Touchless actually provides a “surprisingly delightful and yet familiar way” to interact in a contactless, yet tactile way with buttons.
If used for lift (elevator) buttons, the device mirrors a finger’s movements to recreate the tactile response of a button being pushed, with the button responding by ‘sinking’ inwards before pushing back out, mimicking the action of a real world push.
It has been put together by Singapore based STUCK Design Pte Ltd.
