   I actually saw the door in action at Wired Nextfest in Los Angeles this year — it doesn’t work very well. There was a line of people waiting to go through it, and almost everyone had to duck or turn sideways or something because not all the slats in the door opened wide enough.

   It’s obviously in development, but it reminds me of something from Star Trek.

   I don’t really see this becoming a standard, but it’s still cool.

   1 big sliding door, 2 sensors (one inside one outside) has got to be cheaper than this thing.

   There are multiple motors that control each individual slat on this one, and I just don’t see it becoming a standard.

   I supose they are quite usefull for the long door, say about 5m…. if a earson would pass it would open only for pearson, but if a car, something big it would open the whole way… I guess…

   Yeah I was at the Wired NextFest on New York and I got to try it out. It was pretty cool, but there were some problems. First of all, it opened really slow. 2nd, since the sensors were on the ends, if you had hor legs apart they wouldn’t read the opening between them… I almost, in fact I did, trip over it.
