Transtube 360 shower teleports you to Planet Clean
If, this Monday morning, you're reading DVICE without your lenses in or spectacles on, or haven't supped your morning espresso, you may well look at this little object de cleanliness from Spanish bathroom firm Roca and say, "ZOMIGOD, it's a teleporter!" and beckon Spock, or Uhuru, or whoever it is shares your bed-castell, in order to boldly go (all the while splitting infinitives) and discover new planets.
It's actually a shower cubicle. Perfectly rounded, perfectly futuristic and, while not offering up such an all-singing. all-dancing experience as some bathroom extras, the Transtube 360 is still pretty special. The rotating door is free from hinges, screws and handles, and opens using motion-sensor technology. There's another shot after the jump

Love it. Very clever. Now if it was only affordable...

... and a little bigger. Can you imagine trying to bend over in that thing. You would get stuck!

But... everybody at that convention will see you in the buff. What ever happened to walls and curtains?

I would prefer the glass was atleast frosted, but i suppose i can live with it being clear. I mean traditionally bathrooms have doors so i guess i don't really have to worry about anyone looking in. But it seems a bit small, and the concept of a motion activated door in this small of an area scares me. Last thing i want while washing my hair is for the door to open up, granted it would greatly help with me cleaning the bathroom floor. One the brightside however it does look pretty cool.

Sure it looks good on a convention floor, but the round shape doesn't really seem practical in the average bathroom. Given that it would likely have to be placed against a wall for the water, it's more likely to waste space than save it.
