Osaka Company Unveils Futuristic Washing Machine

Osaka-based Science Co. has introduced the 'Mirai Ningen Sentakuki', a futuristic 'human washing machine' designed to enhance relaxation by filling with water as the user sits in its center. This device measures heart rate and other biological data to adjust water temperature appropriately and features an AI system that projects calming images on its transparent lid. Although the device is not intended for commercial sale, it will be showcased at the Osaka Kansai Expo in April 2025, allowing up to eight visitors daily to experience a 15-minute 'wash and dry' session. A home version is reportedly in development as well. This innovative concept revives the idea of a similar machine that was presented at the 1970 Japan World Exposition, which was not commercially successful. Science Co. aims to offer a unique blend of physical and mental rejuvenation through this advanced technology.
