Japan is famous for computer games and two of the three large video game console companies comes from here. Sega which had a console in the past is still active in developing video games. But beside video games, Japan is also famous for its advanced toilet systems. Just to mention the Washlet. So why not combine these two groundbreaking technologies and make one giant leap for mankind
? Well, it seems Sega had this idea a few years ago when they designed their トイレッツ (TOILETS). The idea is pretty simple. A sensor is put inside the urinal and the customer “controls” the character in a video game by doing what he is supposed to do on place like the toilet. Sounds weird? Well, I have seen small soccer goals on Europe’s toilets so this seems to be just a logical step ahead. Until now I have not heard about any location where such a device is really put up, but who know maybe its a trend in the future? And for those of you who have the chance to play a game: Don’t forget to wash your hands after setting up a new high score !
