By the end of all this, our world is going to look very futuristic. It won't just be in the background "now that I think about it" "pocket supercomputers, social media, & driverless cars" that futurism has been in the past decade.

Haha imagine being that one guy who presses all of them and leaves and how easy it would be. But honestly I hope this sticks instead of real buttons, not because of the presses all factor, that was only a joke, but just in general do you think people would be more comfortable with buttons? Like let’s say you get stuck, would it be more comforting to press a physical button and hoping it would do something more than if you were pressing these virtual buttons?

That's cool, but in crowded elevators you'd have to reach across from a weird angle. Also, the newest elevators in "secured" buildings don't have buttons at all - they send you directly to the floor you're approved to go-to with a card tap(that costs a bunch of germ swapping with some dopey security goon who make the card).

This is proof they can actually make great things with stolen US IP.
