It has been announced that the “Toylets” will be installed at four metro stations across Tokyo, Japan. Each urinal is installed with a pressure sensor. A pressure sensor in the urinal measure the strength and the location of the urine stream as it hits the basin. An LCD screen is placed on the wall above, which lets you select from and play four different mini-games.
