The Retroist mysto-tech button-pushage of my youth were heat-sensitive elevator controls. Yes you touched them and they lit up, no great surprise there, except that the button doesn’t indent or indeed move at all. Just the heat from your finger does the trick. Supposedly these were widely replaced later because an elevator full of passengers would be delivered to any floor that was on fire.

See the magic happen here

Great. There’s a deep dive into interfaces of the Nostromo somewhere in the ether.

Maybe Nakomoto became Weiland Yutani?
