SHOULDER BUTTONS
When it comes to increasing user satisfaction, it is important to facilitate environmental enrichment. One important change of Neo Hygiene is to explore product and spatial design based on non-manual interactions. Nevertheless people have a biological need to touch things. When we design places that cannot be touched, it is important to replace 'touch' (somatosensory) with another enriching element.
Movement (motor) is such an element. By designing buttons that can be controlled with body movements, we keep on facilitating the biological need of people to move. For example a traffic light used with a 'lean on me' button. By leaning shoulders on the button, one can avoid touching the surface with your hands in case a virus hits society.
