In this time of the Corona pandemic, elevators have become a high-risk place where everybody touches the same buttons. At many places, people have discovered tricks to prevent contact with elevator buttons like using a pumping paper, toothpicks, or sanitary tissues for pressing the lift buttons.

So in continuation of our previous Corona safety projects like Automatic sanitizer machine, contactless temperature monitoring, and Social distance detector, here we are going to build a Gesture controlled Elevator prototype using the Arduino Nano. 

This Contactless Elevator is using Arduino Nano, an APDS9960 Gesture Sensor, and an OLED display module. With this gesture based control panel, you can easily control your Lift by making a hand gesture. The APDS9960 Sensor is used to read the gestures. UP and DOWN gestures are used to set the floor number, the left gesture is to close the lift door and move the lift according to the floor number and the Right gesture is used to open the door.
