We Live In An Age Of Miracles & Wonders

Necessity Is The Mother Of Invention
Too lazy to shower? Ever wanted to just walk into a stall that uses AI to hose down your filthy body for you? Effortless bathing - Is this what humanity has come to? -

A Japanese company hopes so: Science Co. has put the “pod” in “Tide pod” after inventing an AI-aided "washing machine of the future” the showerhead firm says will give people the ultimate bath.

Dubbed the “Mirai Ningen Sentakuki,” the cutting-edge capsule is completely enclosed like a hygiene-based cryogenic chamber and takes just 15 minutes to wash and dry the user.

After the user steps into the center seat, the transparent cockpit-like contraption fills partway with water. Sensors embedded in the seat then measure the person’s pulse and other biological metrics to make sure the user is bathed at the ideal temperature.

They’re then blasted by highspeed water jets harboring 3-micrometer-wide air bubbles. When those pop, they produce a small but powerful pressure wave that scours grime from the skin — the same process used to clean electrical components that can’t be washed with chemicals.

But WAIT! There's MORE
Just like so many things nowadays from smartphones to restaurants, the wash pod offers far more than its primary function.

In this case, an innovative AI system analyzes the aforementioned biomarkers to see if the customer is calm or excited and then projects a specially chosen video onto the plastic pod’s interior to calm their nerves.

As a result, the user receives a psychological deep-clean to go with the physical one, the company claims.

Plans are to exhibit the Mirai Ningen Sentakuki in April at Expo 2025 in Osaka, where 1,000 people will get to give the state-of-the-art scrubber a whirl.

The company is already accepting reservations for the automated bathtub on its website. But don’t worry if you can’t jet to Osaka to try it out — the company is planning to debut a home edition in the future.
