I recently experienced the newly remodeled Fully Automated Bathroom in the Wilkinson Center. Here is how it goes. Sit on toilet and place hand under the toilet paper dispenser and voila! it dispenses itself into your hand. Then stand up and the toilet flushes itself. Exit stall and place hands under faucet and water turns itself on; place hands under soap dispenser and it dispenses itself. Rinse under self-running water. Here is the best part-approach new Airblade hand dryer (seen left). Insert hands into hollowed out area and slowly pull out (the air turns on when you stick your hands in). Unfortunately, it doesn't really work very well, but it sure looks cool! Now all we need is the automatic sanitary toilet seat cover and self warming toilet seats and we'll be set.
PS Ben recently informed me that they replaced the urinals in the mens bathroom in the WILK, and they are "water-free." That's right, they don't use water, it just all goes straight down the drain. I hope someone is cleaning them regularly.
They've had those hand dryers in the movie theatre in Olathe for a couple of years now. They work amazingly well, so I'm not sure what the deal is with the one you used. I thought it was the coolest thing I've ever seen. Well I'm glad to see my tithing money is being put to such great use...more scholarships what?
ReplyDeleteUpdate: After Tiffanie's comment, I decided to give the "AirBlade" another chance. I went slower and it really did work fantastically. I was thoroughly impressed and converted.
ReplyDeleteThe AirBlade is one of the most fun things about a bathroom, (I've only used them/seen them at the LAX airport). At the Chicago O'Hare Airport, they actually have the automatic seat covers which are fantastic. Have you ever seen them? As I recall, BYU doesn't have ANY seat covers, do they?
ReplyDeleteI LOVE airblades! They had them in a restaurant here in DC and I definately spent an extra 4 minutes playing with it. My friends were left waiting, but I didn't care. I was airblading.
