We Are All Used To Washing Machines,

for clothes and indeed for dishes, but what about us?

behold in the video above, the human washing machine, at the 1970 Osaka Expo, Japanese electronics giant Sanyo Electric showcased its ‘Ultrasonic Bath’, a human washing machine that cleaned, massaged, and dried the occupant in a fully-automated 15-minute cycle”, for some reason it never really caught on, but now another company is going to market a washing machine, for us,

the company is the Osaka-based Science Co. Ltd., a company known for its many innovations in bath and kitchen technology, has announced its plans to create its own version of the human washing machine as part of its Mirable product line,

named ‘Project Usoyaro’, the latest “fine bubble technology”, as well as a variety of monitoring sensors and an artificial intelligence system to produce a complex bath experience,

but not only does the unit thoroughly clean the body of the user, but also to provide a healing space where you can relax and unwind to the sound of soothing music and the view of images displayed on a water-resistant display inside the machine,

Project Usoyaro is apparently a pet project of Science Co. Ltd. chairman Yasuaki Aoyama, who was only 10 years old when Sanyo’s original human washing machine was unveiled in Osaka. He was so fascinated by the invention that he decided to improve on it if he ever had the chance, Science expects that Project Usoyaro will result in a functional human washing machine by 2024, which the company hopes to showcase at the 2025 Osaka Expo, for the full article have a look here, no guide to a price as of yet, but could this take the place of the traditional bath? only time will tell.
