Peeing for pointsSEGA develops urinal-based video game to keep rest room's floors clean
SEGA installs video games in public men’s rooms; the user controls the game by peeing on sensors in a urinal; SEGA hopes to persuade restaurants and other retail establishments that by giving users goal-oriented mini-games to focus on, their men’s room floors might stay a bit cleaner as gents have somewhere to aim
There was a time when you had to go down to the arcade or pizza shop and pump quarters into machines if you wanted to enjoy a video game experience. Then computers and home gaming consoles brought video game entertainment into the living rooms. Now Sega appears to be moving into the niche bathroom gaming market with a gaming interface named “Toirettsu” in which the user controls the game by peeing on sensors in a urinal (see this YouTube video).
If you can not go standing up, then Toirettsu is not for you.
Toirettsu targets restaurant and retail environments in hopes that by giving users goal-oriented mini-games to focus on, their men’s room floors might stay a bit cleaner as gents have somewhere to aim. It also gives establishments (and Sega) somewhere to place an ad.
Urinal gaming may not keep bathroom floors any cleaner, it will make peeing in public toilets more fun.
