Japan high-tech toilet makers flush with success
A woman demonstrates how to use the "Intelligent Toilet" at a show room in Tokyo. The electronic marvel, which is capable of analysing users' urine, blood and body temperatures, retails for 350,000 to 500,000 yen (about 4,100 to 5,850 US dollars).
Shuttle's Toilet Requires Special Training
Tue, 08/02/2011 - 12:00am
Mike Massimino helps answer the one question he and other astronauts get asked most often: "How do you 'go' in space?" Mike catches up with STS-132 Mission Specialists Steve Bowen and Piers Sellers as they get some "refreshers" on the use of shuttle Atlantis' "Space Potty." (Training includes an "alignment camera.") Bowen, Sellers and their four crewmates are scheduled to launch aboard Atlantis for the International Space

Virtual Human Interaction Lab
The mission of the Virtual Human Interaction Lab is to understand the dynamics and implications of interactions among people in immersive virtual reality simulations (VR), and other forms of human digital representations in media, communication systems, and games. Researchers in the lab are most concerned with understanding the social interaction that occurs within the confines of VR, and the majority of our work is centered on using empirical, behavioral science methodologies to explore people as they interact in these digital worlds.
