the toilet.

The Neorest 600

Picture
A hands-free bathroom experience. A remote control adjusts the features for each user. When the Neorest senses your approach, the toilet lifts its lid, inviting you to have a seat. Once you do your thing, a gentle blast of warm water cleans your bottom. This is followed by the toilet's air-dry function. And after you get up, the toilet flushes the ionized, self-cleaning bowl and deodorizes the air.

Green. The new Cyclone Rush Engine saves up to 70% of water by using only 1.2 gallons of water per flush.

Estimated retail price: US$5,800

The Smart Toilet

Picture
Your personal doctor. This toilet measures urine sugar levels, body-fat ratio, blood pressure, and can accurately determine a woman's stage of fertility. After each 'session,' results will be sent to your personal computer, where users can plot their personal statistics.

Users begin their toilet-room medical check-up at the built-in urine analyser, which collects five cubic centimeters (0.15 fluid onces) the analyse the user's sugar levels. The device cleans itself automatically after the one-minute long test.

Users then proceed to the blood pressure monitor, within arm's reach of the toilet, then weigh themselves on a set of scales in front of the basin and measure their body mass index (BMI) after washing their hands.
