TUAW Gives Thanks: Ginza Elevator Graphics
On this day of excess tryptophan and annoying relatives, it's important to take a minute and give thanks for the things we enjoy, yet take for granted the rest of the year. This year, I'm thankful that I get to sit around and blog about a company that cares enough about design to go that extra step in everything it does, including elevators. Where other companies would put simple buttons, Apple placed an elegant masterpiece of interaction design in front of the elevator at its flagship Ginza store in Tokyo. I've long been impressed by the motion graphics work produced by Apple, but I have to say that this is by far one of my favorites. Enjoy, and happy turkey day!

I got to this Apple store all the time....and ALWAYS take the stairs! It's annoying (and lazy) to wait for that elevator which stops at every single floor.

I agree with Jason, lol. Can't wait till they install one of those in the Sear's Tower. They'll be people riding it all day just for the cool screen.

I wish all elevators did this. I would probably ride them more, just to see what each floor offered. :P
