I started by envisioning some problems you’d run into if you didn’t have use of your arms. The thought of opening a door I believe would be a big hindrance and something that’d be really difficult. I wanted to make a better version of the handicap switches we normally put on the doors for people to open.
I designed it to have a longer area to be tapped in and the connection would be made at the bottom signifying something hitting all the way. This could be easily achieved by simply pressing any force into the top triggering a response when the circuit is completed to open the door. It would be something you could keep at foot level because I think that would prove to be a lot more useful and accessible. If you’re in a chair it can tap into it, if you don’t have full use of your arms you can use your leg to press the switch open, and even if you have your hands full.
