When Architects specify automatic door activation switches, they usually pick one like this round plate with the International Symbol of Access (ISA) on the face. The bigger plates are more usable because it takes less fine motor control to hit the larger surface.
INGRESS’R®, the vertical control switch, offers much more usability for a range of users than the typical door control switch. Folks who don’t have the ability to reach far with their arms can use any body part or component of their mobility device to trigger the switch. A wheelchair footrest, an elbow, or a toe can push this switch to operate a door.
Truly Universal!
The Ingress’r can also be used as an elevator hall call switch or as the floor call buttons in the elevator. This can increase the usability of elevator controls for users with more limited reach.
