the Sega Toylet! A new game system attached to urinals in Japan that you play by literally peeing into it and having the game measure your stream!It basically consists of a screen on a wall and a pressure sensor positioned inside a public urinal below it. If you haven’t guessed how it goes yet, the games are based on the strength of your stream.
The games are currently being tested in four locations in Tokyo, with each Toylet offering four games to choose from:
There’s the “Graffiti Eraser”: The stronger the stream, the more cyberwalls you can clean up.
Or try “Milk From Nose.” This is a multiplayer game. Your stream is measured against those of previous users and translated into milk blown from a character’s nose. The strongest nose-blowers pushes the opponent out of a ring, and we have a winner. Your opponent need not be present to play.
Another game equates stream strength with a gust of wind blowing the dress off a girl.
The concept might sound silly (not to mention sexist, since it’s obviously designed to go into a men’s room), but it sure beats staring at a blank wall at your local watering hole. The screens can also be used to display digital ads when no one’s, uh, playing. The platform is still in development, so there’s no word when we’ll start to see local pee tournaments in Japan yet.
Once again, the Japanese have beat us in the war of toilet evolution.
