Some consumers and design aficionados alike would argue that one of the biggest issues with smart door handles is that they compromise form over function, which is something the conceptual smart 'Handle' aims to help solve.
The door handle appears as a simple lever for opening entryways, but hides the latest technology out of sight including a fingerprint scanner on the inner section as well as a laser microvia touch keypad on the front. A sensor on the top front section will activate the device when a person comes into proximity to maintain visual aesthetics when it's not in use.
The conceptual smart 'Handle' is the design work of Wayne Lu and Wenjie Zheng, and helps to streamline the user experience while also paying close attention to design aesthetics.
