Hey, The touch-less wont be a touch less if they don’t know it is a touch less and keep touching it a ten times before figuring it out… I DONT THINK THIS would work.
you can test it at a local business and see it you can avoid it bacteria spreading … let me know if you think its a money spend and money lost.

[...] such loos. The idea is to have a faucet that is intuitive enough for you not to touch it (uggh-the bacteria!) to operate. Sensors around the mixer make it function automatically when a hand comes within [...]

I’d end up touching it anyway, but maybe that’s just me. It would seem like a better idea to have it be voice activated, but that’s generally more complicated…

This thing is quad-stupid.

First. Germs on elevator-buttons is not actually a huge problem, in general the germ-paranoia in northern america particularily, is getting ridicolous.

Second, if germs *was* a problem, you’d want a totally flat panel, for easy washing. Something like a stainless steel or glass panel with no indentations whatsoever. Imagine the ease of washing this contraption, relative to the ease of washing a totally flat glass-plate.

Third, if no-touch operation was desirable, then why make holes to stick your finger in ? It takes considerable coordination to stick a 0.5 inch diametre finger in a 1 inch diametre hole, without touching the edges. (if you’re using this in a hospital or other place with weakened people, many will be unable to at all) Again, a flat panel with buttons that react even when you just come close to them, rather than touching, is superior.

And fourth, the uv-leds. Get real ! Those are horrendously expensive, and doesn’t offer useful sterilization in split-second times, unless they’re at a power-level where you insert your finger to have it instantly grilled.
