Elevator interface design
A task was to design and sketch 10 alternative control interfaces for an elevator that can service all of the floors of a fictional 10,000 floor building (roughly 3-4 times higher than Mt. Everest).
At 20.5 m/s (the current top speed for an elevator, a record held by Shanghai Tower), it would take nearly 30 minutes to reach the top floor if there were no stops in between.
The elevator would have capacity of dozens, or even hundreds, of passengers. The interface should make riders aware of the elevator status (current floor, time to desired floor) as well as providing control.
