1. The water visibly drips down the slit. Doesn't look good.
2. It doesn't really give that much water. It's like a little treacle.
3. Most people wash their hands in the same place, never moving from place to place. Maybe this caters for a not yet existent need... but I feel this would only be liked by some people who would think of this as a novelty. After the novelty wore off it would be back to normal, therefore the tap would remain stationary.
4. The movement of the tap is linear: it should accelerate progressively when it starts and decelerate progressively when it ends each movement so it would look more natural, more organic
Finally: really, how many times do you have to show the guy's hands in the video moving to and fro? We get it! 5 seconds of video would be enough.]]>Jul 2nd 2008 9:39PM
