Touchless buttons that ‘mirror’ your finger could be the post-pandemic future

Singaporean design studio Stuck Design have developed an alternative to traditional touch-based buttons, as the coronavirus pandemic has led to more people attempting to live with less physical contact.

The company’s “Kinetic Touchless” button using motion detection, rather than touch, to activate, and can be used in a number of environments as the pandemic continues – such as elevators.

“When used in the context of lift buttons, Kinetic Touchless mirrors your finger movements to recreate the tactile response of pushing a button,” the company says on its site.
