Transparent Public Restrooms May Soon Be a Thing

CHARLOTTE, NC — Transparent public restrooms may soon become a thing.

One of Tokyo’s most popular districts recently installed two new see-through bathrooms.

Their designed to be transparent when unoccupied — so potential users can confirm they’re empty and clean — but turn opaque once the door is locked inside.

The creator behind the project says the restrooms are aimed at changing people’s perception of public toilets.
