During the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic, we were all paranoid of touching door handles in city or apartment buildings, an elevator button, operating an ATM, pushing a button at a pedestrian crosswalk, pressing buttons on a vending machine all in fear of coming into contact with COVID or other harmful pathogens. Today the US Patent & Trademark Office published a patent application from Apple that reveals their work on a system that could adopt the interactive interfaces of devices like an elevator or door keypad via a new sensor system so as to operate devices virtually by pressing virtual buttons.
