Okay, I’m going to give away an idea that I think is great. I have other ideas that are easier to implement, and I like easy, so this one I can let go. It’s probably been thought of before, and I know Sega did it with video games, but I’ve never seen it done quite this way.
You’re at a urinal in the restroom of a bar. In front of your face is a flat screen, arranged in portrait mode, framed in wood or plastic that matches the decor. Maybe there’s a drink shelf below it. On the screen is a related bunch of quick-to-read interesting or stupid blurbs/cartoons such as Weekly World News items, Ripley’s Believe it or Not, unusual world records, news, jokes, riddles, trivia questions, whatever. Maybe there’s a bikini girl in the corner. Scratch that, bad idea 😉 Every minute or so it fades to display something new.
The screen is a cheap LCD faced with Gorilla Glass or similar material. Behind the scenes is a not-quite-dumb terminal (running Android of course) connected to the bar’s wi-fi, displaying images from the company’s web site. The bar owner chooses what categories they want to display, how often it refreshes, etc. via their account on the company’s web site. Maybe it’s a cheap subscription for constantly updated content. Maybe video such as football follies are available for more money.
It would be sales-intensive at first, and I hate sales. All I know is I WANT this over every urinal I use, so someone here needs to get crackin’.
