Japanese toilet technology has developed creeping featuritis. New Tokyo toities
sport speech-recognition, air-conditioning, and body-chemistry monitors:
Japan's toilet wars started in February, when Matsushita engineers here
unveiled a toilet seat equipped with electrodes that send a mild electric
charge through the user's buttocks, yielding a digital measurement of
body-fat ratio.
Unimpressed, engineers from a rival company, Inax, counterattacked in April
with a toilet that glows in the dark and whirs up its lid after an infrared
sensor detects a human being. When in use, the toilet plays any of six
soundtracks, including chirping birds, rushing water, tinkling wind chimes,
or the strumming of a traditional Japanese harp.
