Designers are launching sensor-based devices for touchless experiences post-COVID
Trend - Public spaces and industries—especially those connected to travel, physical retail, and hospitality—are rethinking the design of their layouts, as well as the amenities and services that they make available to consumers. As economic and social restrictions due to COVID-19 are incrementally lifted, companies are looking for ways to regain consumer trust by enhancing safety measures in their facilities.
Insight - As social distancing restrictions are lifted by governments, consumers are becoming gradually comfortable returning to activities they did or enjoyed pre-pandemic—from travel and shopping to working in an office. However, many are concerned about their health as the risk of contracting COVID-19 is higher in public spaces. As a result, consumers emphasize the need for safety solutions that allow them to feel more at ease when outside of the home.
