A couple years ago I was in a building in Vienna that had one... it was brilliant!
It was a little scary stepping on for the first time (probably like stepping on an escalator for the first time when I was a kid, not that I remember) but it's a really unique system.
- pmjordan 16y agoVienna, Austria? (not the one in Ontario or the ~dozen in US) Do you remember what building that was? I'd love to check it out. Another option to the lift UI conundrum that I've encountered in Vienna is to have dedicated staff operating it. It's extremely rare these days, one example I can think of is the Staatsoper (State Opera). You still need a button to call it, but the operator decides what floors to visit in what order. Cost efficient? Probably not, but considering how hard it is to get tickets to the Opera (by subscription or depositing €250 to be entered into the ticket lottery) I guess they can afford to keep up the tradition. EDIT: I'd love to know why I'm being downvoted.
