I don\u2019t want to speak too soon, but I doubt technology will ever be able to eliminate the need for humans to go to the bathroom. Tech bros can make all the Soylent slop they want to replace food, but it\u2019ll still need to leave their bodies eventually. Folks loved how The Mandalorian<\/em> made the Star Wars universe even more relatable by unveiling space toilets at last. And if you\u2019re looking for some cold hard numbers, Charmin estimates people spend an average of 156 hours of each year on the toilet.<\/p>\n

Speaking of Charmin, the toilet paper tycoon knows that even if toilet are forever, the experience can still be enhanced with technology (and not ruined by capitalism<\/a>). And at CES 2020, they\u2019re showing off a slate of toilet tech concepts called Charmin GoLab.<\/p>\n

Charmin GoLab is a suite of \u201cfuturistic bathroom innovations\u201d designed to execute \u201cCharmin\u2019s vision of a better bathroom experience.\u201d And like a lot of CES concepts that are in no way consumer products yet, they straddle the line between reality and elaborate April Fool\u2019s Day prank. The three devices on display at Vegas approach the idea of \u201cbathroom innovation\u201d from some pretty unique angles.<\/p>\n

Charmin\u2019s commercials already feature a family of bears who cannot shut up about going to the bathroom. So why not use some of that bear imagery on a friendly self-balancing robot, the RollBot, that can deliver you a fresh new roll if you\u2019re stuck on the throne with no other options.<\/p>\n

Having to use a bathroom that\u2019s already a warzone is also a common bathroom worry. The SmellSense CO2 sensor can do the sniff testing for you, give you a warning, and save your nose the suffering.<\/p>\n

And since no one can go to CES without showing off some virtual reality thing, the V.I.Pee is a smart porta potty with included Oculus Rift headset designed for mentally transporting you back to whatever event you\u2019re at, like a concert, even if you need to temporarily physically leave to answer nature\u2019s calling. We\u2019re not sure how to feel about this one.<\/p>\n
