Then you walk around the corner to the door and there's the big nasty brass door handle for you to grab. UX sweetness :) So I was recently at a Hilton where they had auto flush, auto soap dispenser, auto sink, and these Dyson dryers..

With the wind blowing on them, you need to move cautiously, else you touch the sides where others may have touched. I know, not a huge deal, but still kind of weird. Then again, most people who would be using this probably just finished washing their hands. Keyword: probably.

It's more bacause the product is new and people are not familiar with it.

Just imagine the instructions and training needed when first ATMs were set-up. Can we accuse them of being user-unfriendly?
