Ever wonder how a blind person knows if the smell coming from a public toilet stall is just left over from a previous tenant or continuing to be emitted by a dirty seat? They could always wipe the seat but that still wouldn't tell them if the toilet was clogged (or about to be). That's where the Toilet
Recognition System comes in. If we can create a software program that's capable of matching one face in a million then we should be able to write one that can tell the difference between a dirty toilet and a clean one when a blind person points their camera phone at it. If the toilet looked hazardous the computerized voice would just say 'I wouldn't sit there if I were you.' I'm sure there are a lot of other situations where it would be helpful to have a computer program do the checking for a blind person too.

Depending on the urgency of the situation, a graded system might be useful. From, "it's a bit scungy there, but useable," to, "please please PLEASE do NOT drop me right now..." |

// If we can create a software program that's capable of matching one face in a million // then we should create a software program that's capable of matching two arse cheeks in a million. The toilet recognises past offenders who have not flushed the chain, and produces an electric current that passes through the toilet seat. The flow of electricity ceases only when the offending arse leaves the vicinity. |

//If we can create a software program

This might be one of those
things that a guide-dog could do
better. |
