This toilet from Toto, a Japanese manufacturer, is quite something. It has a built-in sensor to detect whether a person is near the toilet or not. If it is, the toilet cover will automatically raise up. This way, you can keep your hand cleans, since you don’t have to open the cover with your hand like when you use the normal toilet. Once you’ve done your “toilet business” and walk away from the toilet, its cover will automatically close.

The toilet has an integrated control system that built on the wall. You can use it to control the toilet, including flushing it in a touch of a button. Again, no need to use your hand to touch the dirty toilet. Even if you forget to flush it (yuck!), the toilet will do it for you, automatically. Might be perfect for kids or elderly people.

The toilet also thinks about your comfortness. The seat is heated and there’s an MP3 player with SD slot! Just remember not to spend your time singing your favourite song and forget to get out from there.

And here’s a demo movie (4.2MB, MPEG) about the toilet.
