It happens there are times you carry something heavy and can't use your hands to call an elevator, and it's also not very hygienic to touch elevator button that's touched by many people.
So, the idea is to use touch sensors mounted permanently into the floor nearby elevator, making a shape of large
triangles meaning "up" and "down". By simply standing on one of those triangles you could call an elevator. The buttons would turn inactive when the elevator door is open.

Can you play dance dance revolution while you wait? |

Ok, to enable dancing, there should be a logical element to disable one of the sensors after touching a sensor. If you want to change your mind, there should also be a tiny "cancel" somewhere away from dancing area :-) |

Something's missing with this idea.... |

Oddly I didn't see this one until after I posted my dance caller. |

These should not be the only means of calling an elevator,
because people in wheelchairs (who need elevators more
than others) wouldn't likely be able to use them. |

^except their packages are on the chair and their hands are free. |

Soon enough AI agents will look through a camera and open the doors as a person approaches. They'll spend the rest of their time bemoaning how stupid humans are. |

Sounds very like the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation's innovative Happy Vertical People Transporter ... |
