Interactive Urinals

Industrial Designer Marcel Neundörfer has designed a urinal that features a pressure-sensitive display screen for some gaming fun in restrooms.

When relieving yourself into this interactive urinal, you launch a mini-game that focuses on a target, with your stream acting as the input device. By targeting a specific area, you are prompted to control a character or object on the screen. In addition, the benefit of this interactive urinal is that people now really focus on hitting the urinal and not outside, as Neundörfer explains:

The reduced size of the “target” improves restroom hygiene and saves on cleanings costs (like the “fly in the urinal” at Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport). It also makes a trip to the urinal “fun and games” – more than just a necessary nuisance.

We now wonder why Nintendo spent so much money on designing a freehand controller when every man already has a revolutionary controller.

To create an environment that promotes new experiences and formation of new ideas. It is a space where learning is acquired by self-actualizations. The space will be different from previous perceptions. The participant must find relations to what they already know and find their own way of relating.

This could lead to the understanding of the underlying scientific principle *yet to be determined*. There is no failure in not achieving the scientific principle.
