Simply lie down in a closed capsule and shower – without doing anything: a “washing machine for people” is now on the market in Japan.
For the new type of shower, you lie down in the approximately two meter long capsule, which then closes. Microbubbles and a fine mist of water then gently cleanse the entire body, reports NDTV. Built-in sensors monitor vital signs during the shower process to ensure well-being. At the same time, calming music ensures relaxation. After about 15 minutes, the washing program is completed and you are dried automatically – towels are not needed.

The “washing machine for people” was developed by the Japanese tech company Science. It attracted a lot of attention at this year’s World Expo in Osaka.
Due to strong interest from international companies, including a US resort, Science decided to bring the prototype to market. The first machine was purchased by a hotel in Osaka that wants to offer this service to its guests. Local media estimate the price at around 60 million yen (approx. 310,000 francs). (fake)
