154. I generally liked the convention of lighting up things where you’d insert cards/money or get something out. Not new, but more comprehensive and more elegant. (Some lights would pulsate like old PowerBooks/MacBooks.)pic.twitter.com/P8qAnzSN7r

Some machines would (also) show a little diagram on the screen and point to the relevant parts.pic.twitter.com/efAd8KHVNs
155. When things came out of the machine – for example an ATM – they would all come out at the same time, instead of sequentially. Here, it was really easy to grab my card and the receipt via one gesture.pic.twitter.com/Lj2nI0ZZlx
156. If you’re asking “but can I *insert* more than one thing?” the answer is HOT DAMN YESSSSS. The machines encourage you to just put in the entire phat stack.pic.twitter.com/lxg3xfhjwU
(If you’re also asking “Marcin, will this thread ever end?” my answer is I REALLY DON’T KNOW. The discoveries simply don’t seem to ever end.)
157. For example, only just a few hours ago I discovered a new type of interaction. Instead of inserting a card or touching it a few times, this ticket machine asks you to place it on a mat for the duration of the transaction.pic.twitter.com/efbCA4zFz0
158. Only yesterday, I discovered that as you approach a taxi, the driver can remotely open your door for you, and then do the same as you arrive. There are also many more automatic sliding doors around, even in little stores. Opening a “normal” door seems like a rarity.
159. When you pay, even to a cashier, you don’t hand someone the money. You put it on a special tiny tray. It feels elegant and refined. (I went to a coffee shop really early and they didn’t put one out yet, and really scrambled, not wanting to do the transaction without it!)pic.twitter.com/kbag6n9c74
160. Also, in bakeries and so on you’re supposed to just grab a tray and put your stuff directly on it? It was kind of weird. As you bring it all to the cashier, they transfer them onto a plate or basket for you, or into to-go bags. PLEASE TELL ME I DIDN’T DO ANYTHING WRONG.pic.twitter.com/kohGm8ngvs
haha you did nothing wrong! it freaked me out when i first moved here as well!
I checked in twice using gestures and facial expressions. :·) It’s like putting something on a table without a coaster!
