You're in Control! or, Play with your Pee

The geniuses at MIT Media Labs (and I'm not being sarcastic) have come up with an expensive but sanitary way to play at the urinal. The stream is read by sensors and used as the interface for an onscreen game mounted above the urinal. "You're in Control encourages cleanliness while reintroducing play to the act of micturition," says the paper (available in PDF).

For the future? "We envision a variety of additional software applications. For example, users could play a game in which they uncovered a hidden image with their urine." Oh, fun! Pee off the sand and find the treasure! "Another possibility is a co-operative networked game -" Never mind, I think I'll stop reading that now. My favorite: "Users could even browse through news stories, advertisements, and stock quotes as they voided their bladders, in a new form of bathroom multitasking." Sounds great. When's the female version available?

girls can play too... you just need an adapter.

I hope to God they don't add some multiplayer feature.

Just in case anyone's interested, I mirrored the video and some of the stills on my site, being that the guy who created this is a friend of mine, I take pride in knowing he's helping mankind. It brings a tear to my eye. You can check out some of the other stuff he's doing at Monzy.com

Some girls can play without the adapter!

They just need special training.

I think they only need four arrows, then you can play Wazz Wazz Revolution.

it would be fun at first but it might encourage a trend of making everything into game. cheap tacky fun then boring. like the bombardment of advertising recently on garbage cans and even hotdog stands blah.
