You gotta love Japanese innovation. While you might not agree with the way they not-so-secretly treat marine mammals, you gotta love their ideas. They came out with Super Mario, they’re where ninjas come from, they thought of building robots for remote hugging, and their game/prank shows are just too funny for words. (Seriously. Naked-man on a rocket ski chair? Now that’s something you don’t see everyday.) Now we’ve got this new gaming console, which is supposed to be Sega Corporation’s return to the gaming hardware arena. It’s called the Toylet, which basically consists of a screen on a wall and a pressure sensor positioned inside a public urinal below it. If you haven’t guessed how it goes yet, the games are based on the strength of your stream.
Burger King recently opened a new tech-ified branch Japan, featuring a new concept to make your burger-eating experience a little more “musical.” The new restaurant will feature what they call “Sound Spots,” the new branch has a number of booths with a slot for playing tunes from a docked iPhone or iPod, and a shower-like speaker contraption overhead that limits the music (or noise) to the booth under it.
