@Edent Sadly I don't have a photo, but I've also seen some units where the buttons are spaced out a bit more and they had a distance sensor for each button, allowing you to press a button by holding your hand in front of them.

The amazing thing about ⬆ is that it has shown me just how many people don't / can't read.

There's nothing in the text which talks about flushing. Indeed, I explicitly describe what the buttons are for.

The image on the left doesn't look like a flush mechanism. The words in the photo are reasonably clear.

I wonder how many people are getting needlessly angry at news stories simply because they cannot extract coherent meaning from the text?

@Edent ... feedback?

@Edent

my solution to the button would be to push it with a paper towel between the button and my finger. Because some people will push it before washing their hands (some people don't wash their hands at all).
I am not scanning some QR-code because that takes too much time and I want to be out of there as fast as I can thankyouverymuch.

@Edent just place it outside, like the ones in the airports

@Edent There's so many things wrong with this but others have already said most of them so...

In most situations there's nothing wrong with the low tech solution of regularly checking on the bathrooms and asking customers to tell an employee if there's a problem.

And for the exceptions, the high tech solution should be immediately outside the bathroom not inside the bathroom, especially if it involves a camera, no matter whether camera is owned by customer (qr code) or venue (this silly thing)

@Edent why not just have the survey buttons/screen outside?! Don't put anything like this IN bathrooms!!

@Edent strangely enough, if you do a search you'll find a lot of toilet flushing apps

@Edent Who's this? Oh, it's my good friend, Mr. Sharpie! Mr. Sharpie has so many cool tricks, like protecting your privacy! Thanks, Mr. Sharpie!

@Edent Yes, a briliant way to get at least one camera in the toilets area.....

@Edent guys, this is a conspiracy to create a database of butts. They' won't need your face anymore because they can get the shape of your butt and recognize you from there :))

@Edent That sounds to me like someone with an agenda attempting to justify why a device in the loos is a good thing. Weirdos.

@Edent ohh, so they need camera to record gesture... why cant they put 3 sensors. Top, right, bottom and wave of the hand would indicate decision? XDD the camera in peee peee station seems more like a weird fetish than actual solution to a problem.

Also why do I need to press buttons if toilets are clean? Just fucking clean them everyday XDD

@Edent say, where is this, or which is the linkedin profile publishing it?

@Edent How Innovative! What will they think of next? Impromptu slice of life video subscriptions?

@Edent Does it recognize middle finger gestures?

@Edent What if I don’t want a camera in a public washroom?

@Edent This is a good way to discourage feedback, and encourage middle fingers.

This will prove less effective than the buttons.

@Edent You can read gestures with capacitative sensors that don't passively record while they wait for a trigger.

@Edent you could run the visual recognition locally on the device, the video would never leave the device. But even for that you have to trust the company..

@Edent

...

Wha...

...

I'm sorry...

Why... Would _anyone_ want this?

WHAT HAPPENED TO MOTION SENSORS THAT ARE NOT CAMERAS?!

👀

@Edent Password for remote ssh access: "jeepers creepers look at them peepers"

@Edent Butt Flock

@Edent I'm sorry, but ...

What the actual fuck? Reviews on bathrooms? We've gone this low already? I thought we had at least another decade before they ask people to review taking a shit.

@Edent I went poking around their website and thought "that doesn't seem right"

But perhaps it does?

@Edent why not just have the QR code go to an online survey?

@Edent That's fucking stupid, considering that public toilets with motion sensors that already solve this problem much more simply and cheaply have been a commercial technology since like the early 2000s.

Fucking hate the collective amnesia that makes this kind of marketing viable.

Also, even way before motion sensors, brass handles have done a pretty good job of killing bacteria. Still waiting for brass touch surfaces to be mandated for commercial buildings.

@Edent I know I'm out of touch (pun not intended) because I think QR code menus are sheer insanity already, but do people seriously whip out their phones to scan QR codes *inside* a stall?

@Edent I’d also like to know how socially acceptable it is to get your phone out in camera mode in the toilets to scan a qr code?
