Japan Introduces Smart Public Restrooms (Toilets) in Tokyo Constructed With Smart Glass

Smart Public Restrooms (Toilets) in Tokyo Constructed With Smart Glass

By Tom Okure, Ph.D. 
ICMS, Inc Reports 

In Tokyo Japan, an impressive smart public restroom design is being introduced to embrace diversity which can accommodate anyone. The restroom project is an initiative referred to as “The Tokyo Toilet Project” and employs sophisticated smart glass technology designed to make modern restrooms in Japan “accessible for everyone regardless of gender, age, or disability and to show the potential of an inclusive society.
The glass panels are of many colors and quickly become opaque when the cubicles are locked


The smart glass (transparent) toilets designed by 16 global creators were introduced on August 5, 2020 and the brainchild of Pritzker Prize-winning architect Shigeru Ban. The smart public toilets are initially “located in Haru-no-Ogawa Community Park (5-68-1 Yoyogi) and the Yoyogi Fukamachi Mini Park (1-54-1 Tomigaya).”


The smart glass transparent technology appears to be similar to the technology used in transitional eye glasses but with a quicker response immediate effect time turning immediately from clear to opaque when the toilet door is locked. The immediate transition from clear glass to opaque makes people assured using the toilet facility that they will not be watched from outside while using the toilet inside.

 According to” Nippon Foundation” many public restroom users in Japan especially those using restrooms located at a park typically complain or worry about two things “the first is cleanliness, and the second is whether anyone is inside” … “Using the latest technology, the exterior glass turns opaque when locked. This allows users to check the cleanliness and whether anyone is using the toilet from the outside. At night, the facility lights up the park like a beautiful lantern.”

In 2019, Tokyo Japan prefecture had an estimated population of 13,929,280 with the greater Tokyo area considered to be the most populous metropolitan area in the world, with more than 37.393 million residents as of 2020. Tokyo as a modern city has so many futuristic design innovations.

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg of the United States Supreme Court is dead at the age of 87

By Tom Okure
ICMS, Inc. Reports 

The United States Supreme Court announced in a statement that Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is dead. According to the statement, Justice Ginsburg expired as a result of complications from metastatic cancer of the pancreas. She was 87 years old and died at home in Washington surrounded by family. Justice Ginsburg in her 80s became a legal, cultural and feminist icon in the United States.


"Our nation has lost a justice of historic stature," Chief Justice John Roberts said. "We at the Supreme Court have lost a cherished colleague. Today we mourn but with confidence that future generations will remember Ruth Bader Ginsburg as we knew her, a tired and resolute champion of justice."

President Bill Clinton appointed Ginsburg in August 1993 to the Supreme Court to fill the seat that was held by Byron “Whizzer” White. Ginsburg was the second woman appointed to the Supreme Court.

She was the architect in the 1970’s of the legal fight for women's rights and subsequently served 27 years in the Supreme Court becoming its most prominent member. Her death is likely going to begin a nasty and rowdy political battle over who will replace her, and it plunges the Supreme Court vacancy into the focus of the 2020 presidential campaign.
