LEVEL UP

Smart Elevator Design

LEVEL UP is a project targeted to help office workers to have a more enjoyable and relaxing experience while traveling inside and outside the elevator through the design of a mobile application and the design of the inner of the elevator. Users can enjoy relaxing games and immersed spatial experiences on elevator screens. The app combines functions of checking elevator status, gaming, and redeeming coupons after awards from the game.

BACKGROUND

The elevator stopped on my floor, only to be full of people. For the next five minutes, I waited and waited for an elevator with enough space to let me on.

This scenario happened to me every single day at my apartment building in Suzhou. I was frustrated, and so was everyone else. A majority of residential and office buildings in China have more than 30 floors, which makes elevators essential. However, during rush hours, people often have to wait 15 to 20 minutes to get onto the elevator, causing missed events and poor work performance.
