Clever. Won't survive in the field though, sorry.
ATMs have metallic keypads and as few moving parts as possible for one simple reason, which is vandalism. People will hit and break ATM display in anger, because it didn't register their touch selection made with a hotdog. They will break, bend, twist and pull apart anything that as much as hints that it's possible. Something that swings 90 degrees and requires reasonably precise alignment of moving parts to work - that's just asking for it.

- uptown 13y agoI think this design might work better if the pivoting part were moved internal to the ATM. It'd avoid vandalism, and maintain the benefit of the sliding behavior occurring along a path inaccessible to the skimmer. The obvious downside to such a design is that you'd need to replace all of your ATMs which is why, I'm assuming, this design included the pivot mechanism on the outside.
