    Is it just me or are the baths in this filled with white liquid? So it would never have a use in the real world - unless you want to go all ancient Egyptian and start bathing in milk!

    its supposed to contain bath salts - but it looks like there's a healthy dose of the stuff in there

    So you are in the bath, looking down at the 'screen' with your penis as a constant background image

    There are just so many inappropriate comments that could be made on this story! A new pointing device (follwing on from Doom's comment above) - a new era in delivering porn content... the list goes on! Just a shame that very few a suitable for posting on HEXUS!

    Wow.
    Also, what was that about Microsoft spying on living rooms with the Kinect? Whoever's on the other end's going to get more than they bargained for!

    Go home Japan you're drunk.


    But seriously, potential applications aside, mixing expensive electronic equipment and baths is never a good idea, especially so if that water is salty.

    Wonder how many people will need to half fill the bath just to make sure they get the 1.4cm or more for interaction. lol
