10 different designs for a control interface for a long elevator servicing a 10,000
floor-building:
The first 10:
1st idea:
Interactive Floor Map: A large touchscreen panel in the lobby displays a map of the
building with all 10,000 floors labeled. Users can touch their desired floor on the map to
call the elevator.

2nd idea:
Voice Control: Users can simply speak their desired floor to a voice recognition system
installed in the elevator or in the lobby.
3rd idea:
Mobile App: An app allows users to call the elevator from their smartphones. It also
provides real-time updates on the elevator's location and estimated time of arrival.

4th idea:
Gesture Control:
5th idea:
Biometric Control: You place your fingerprint into the slot on the elevator to identify
yourself. After identifying yourself, the screen will allow you to select the floor you want
to go to.

6th idea:
Wearable Control: The large screen in the elevator will recognize the number of fingers
you raise when standing in front of the screen to determine the floor you want to go to.

7th idea:
Mindreader Hat: You wear a mindreader hat placed inside the elevator. When you wear
the hat, your thought about which floor you want to go to will be recognized by the
elevator.

8th idea:
Button list – Worst idea: A list of all buttons according to each floor is placed on the
wall of the elevator.
9th idea:
Augmented Reality Interface: When wearing augmented reality glasses, a virtual screen
in the elevator will appear. You press those virtual buttons to go to the floors you want
using the elevator.

10th idea:
Go unexpected: The elevator will continuously move either upward or downward
depending on the button you select. To stop at a certain floor, you shout "STOP".
1. Reflecting on the initial sketches, several design ideas stand out as promising and
worthy of further development. These include:
- Interactive Floor Map: The visual representation of the building's floors on a
touchscreen panel provides users with a clear and engaging interface. It caters to
both tech-savvy users and those who prefer a more tactile experience.
- Mobile App: The convenience and ubiquity of smartphones make a mobile app a
practical solution for controlling the elevator. It provides users with flexibility and
real-time information, making it a desirable option for further exploration.
- Voice Control: Voice control offers a hands-free and intuitive way for users to
interact with the elevator system. Its simplicity and accessibility make it a strong
contender for further refinement.
Based on these design ideas, the following criteria and constraints can be established:
a. Criteria:
- User-Friendliness: The design solution should be intuitive and easy to use for a
wide range of users, including those with varying levels of technological
proficiency.
- Accessibility: It should accommodate users with different needs and preferences,
including those with disabilities or language barriers.
- Efficiency: The solution should optimize elevator usage to minimize wait times
and congestion, particularly in a building with a large number of floors.
b. Constraints:
- Technological Feasibility: The design should leverage existing technology or
propose feasible advancements within the current technological landscape.
- Space Limitations: Physical space constraints within the elevator cabin or lobby
area may limit the size or complexity of the control interface.
2. 10 new sketch ideas within these established constraints:
The second 10:
1st idea:
Haptic Feedback Panel: A touch-sensitive panel in the elevator cabin provides haptic
feedback, guiding users to select their desired floor with vibrations.

2nd idea:
QR Code Scanning: Users can scan QR codes placed outside each floor to call the
elevator directly to their location.
3rd idea:
Elevator Concierge Service: An AI-powered virtual assistant in the elevator offers
personalized recommendations and assistance based on user preferences.
4th idea:
Gesture-Based Navigation: Users can control the elevator by gesturing with their hands
or body movements detected by sensors in the cabin.
5th idea:
Infrared Body Heat Detection: Infrared sensors detect the presence of users outside the
elevator, automatically opening the doors and calling the elevator to their floor.

6th idea:
Emotion Recognition: Facial recognition technology analyzes users' facial expressions
to gauge their mood and provide tailored elevator music or ambiance.
7th idea:
Dynamic Floor Allocation: The elevator system dynamically adjusts floor allocations
based on user traffic patterns and destination preferences.
8th idea:
Elevator Gaming: Interactive games are available on the control panel to entertain users
during their ride and reduce perceived wait times.
9th idea:
Elevator Chatroom: A digital chatroom allows users waiting for the elevator to
communicate and coordinate their travel plans.
10th idea:
Crowdsourced Destination Prediction: Users can view real-time data on elevator usage
and crowd density to make informed decisions about which elevator to call.
