Nice idea, but trying to look at this from a facility manager's perspective (their primary customer), I'm concerned about product durability. How will such a long lever arm survive in the hostile environment known as a public restroom? "Hey bro, push open the door while I stand on that thing, hehehe." As it is, their site is primarily focused on the idea of the product, but does not discuss its engineering, durability, installation, etc. What alloy are they using, and is it cast or welded? This type of information is very important to the facility managers and architects who would be specifying this thing. There are also potential benefits they've forgotten to discuss if indeed this product solves the problem of people's reluctance to touch restroom doors: Decrease in restroom floor litter and savings on paper towels and extra trash cans. From a use point of view, have they tested the product to see what percentage of people will actually use their feet to pull open a door? Some doors are big and heavy, and some people aren't. I doubt anyone in heels is going to want to use the Toepener. The idea seems like a good possible stopgap for an unfortunate design pattern on many school campuses: Narrow hallways best suited to in-swinging doors (where allowed by code). But a better solution to avoiding the transmission of germs on restroom doors is more fundamental: Design the doorway to swing outwards, with push and kick plates, and use anti-microbial stainless steel on the former. Regarding the toepener.com visual design, I find the blinking Step-Pull-Walk image animation quite jarring to the eye. Should have a fade or dissolve transition between images; Who of the twelve is in charge of UX? ;)
