Elevator With Voice Recognition And Wheelchair Detection

Japan's Mitsubishi Electric has made elevator rides for people with disabilities a lot more easier by adding two important features to its elevator user interface.

The new system adds voice recognition so that blind users could speak out the floor number they need to go to, and  the elevator makes an announcement when it reaches its destination.

The system also has a sensor outside the elevator that detects wheelchairs (needs to be within 30 cm from the sensor). Once a wheel chair is detected, voice recognition is automatically activated (which also means that the rider would neither have to face the problem of reaching high buttons nor would they have to ask someone else for assistance).

See image for sensor location.














As of now, this elevator system is available only in Japan.
