Where’s My Water? - Yanko Design - Veitch Commoodle1982

Have you ever come up upwardly on a faucet and thought – wait a 2nd, where are the faucet handles? How does this work? Even after years and years of motion-sensor engineering existence embedded in faucets in malls and restaurants the world over? Designer Daniel David Sutherland sees this problem too. Convenience should be intuitive, correct? In order to convey instantly the way this new faucet works, Sutherland placed a human hand impression right in the center of the bowl.

What to do? Place hand here.

In addition, the bulk of the faucet is hidden behind the bowl, preventing the user from focusing on it instead of the hand washing. Modern motion sensor faucets are confusing (Sutherland and I concur) because when the faucet is the center of attention, the user instantly thinks they've got to interact with it by touching it to plough information technology on.

In improver, this interesting feature: "Past concealing the move sensing componentry underneath the athwart faucet, any concerns of unsolicited washroom surveillance (oft associated with conventional sensing technologies) are as well averted." True! I used to recall they were little cameras spying on my hands!

Paranoia averted.
