Incredible to see such a new device in a space where there has been little real invention in 100 years (since the elevator/lift).
I'm interested in the building code implications of this. I assume you can't replace a staircase with this due to fire egress requirements, and at the top you have to have some sort of complex gate (notably not shown in the video) to prevent people from falling off.
- imiric 5y agoI don't see it as a replacement for stairs, it's too impractical for general use. The only use case seems to be for what their demo video shows, people with limited mobility.
- netcan 5y agoSpace requirements are very different to stairs or other lifts.
- IshKebab 5y agoIf you had very limited space and no mobility issues there's a very cheap solution that has existed probably for millennia.

- navane 5y agois this marketed to the same people that need an electric chair because otherwise they can't get up?
- ratsforhorses 5y agoIt's also great for? Library, Mezzanine, Archive... stairs take up space, you might even use this for going down mines, wells...what other use cases?
