Description

This project aims to introduce an immersive design to elevators through cinematographical elevators. Elevators nowadays have been treated as a confined isolator, its sole purpose is merely transitional. At the same time, the complex demands of urban living make it increasingly imperative to apply a sophisticated approach to the behavioural aspects of the passenger experience. There is a need to balance the design and vertical transportation systems with improvements for people that fundamentally change behaviour to lower anxiety, increase convenience and improve efficiency. The goal should be to provide a natural interaction with the passengers and the elevator itself for a safe, secured, efficient, convenient and personalized experience. And to achieve this goal, movie elevators are the tools for me to revitalize the experience as it is often magnified in movies through different techniques. By applying reverse engineering, experience in movie scenes could be brought to the reality and the experience could be enhanced.
