Toilet Games


British company Captive Media thinks it has developed a product that fills a gap in the market - a urinal mounted, urine-controlled games console for men.

Leader board

It calls it the first "hands-free" video gaming console of its kind.

The sturdy device sits above the normal oval ceramic urinal bowl, opening up a whole new world of entertainment.

The user is presented with three generous targets to aim for in the urinal: stickers in the unit that read "Start", "Left" and "Right".

The console is able to detect where the urine is falling by means of an infra-red device, this is your joystick controls for playing the games!

It reminds me of the fly in the urinal idea implemented in Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport which tried to reduce wastage and spillage by giving tired and bored travellers something to aim at!

And so a rudimentary "joystick" is set up
