TV Bath Tiles
Tiles that can project television - watch TV in the Shower | |
[thanks to BenFrost for inspiration. ref: Celebrity Soap]
Bathroom tiles are an interesting material. Before applying
the glaze layer to the tiles, embed a laptop-type display
layer, fully enabling the tile to display images. This new
display capability can be clustered together to form a
large
television, or can be arranged in a pattern throughout the
wall surface to provide an ever-changing pattern of designs.
Depending upon the number of "video tiles" actually used, and
the arrangement of the video tiles, there can be various uses:
1. Simple Light in the tub with various colors (rainbow ?). Can
help you get up in the morning.
2. Television (when tiles are clustered)
3. Lots of Tiles: Simulate outdoor shower, variety of locations
4. Sure, there's the porn implications
5. Celebrity Soap
6. Coming soon: Imax-Shower. Full surround-style immersive
immersion.
The glazing would provide thermal insulation for those who
enjoy showers with extreme temperatures. (hot or cold)

I wish this was my idea! (+) |

Grab that shower head and play some kind of firefighter video game. |

7. The image on each screen could be that of a regular ceramic bath tile. |
|
| |
So do I, bliss, and the exotic tile is what I had in mind. But it could also be just a plain old flat, single color (even an outdated color) tile image, for ironic effect. |
|
| |
Hundreds of pictures of eyeballs, to freak out your shy roommate. |
|
| |
A picture of a shower curtain, with the shadow of a big knife wielding hand might be fun. |
|
| |
I'd like a "Life" game played out on my shower walls in full surround every morning. |
|

Doesn't this already exist? The tiles are effectively and LCD television. If you put enough of them together you've got the same effect ! |
|

TILETV allows you to watch TV in your shower or bath.
They come in 10, 15, 17 and 23 inch LCD units - all completely waterproof and with fully waterproof remote controls. also stereo/teletext/video connections. |

( if you don't beleive me try searching for tiletv on any search engine ) |

yes, it's a great idea but it's baked. I solved this problem by installing a Sharp LCD TV on the opposite wall and speakers in the ceiling -- the shower door is transparent |

//the shower door is transparent// |

Oh god, do you know what the word PRIVACY means? |
|
| |
This is baked at a number of hotels I've
stayed in - the one that comes to mind
is The Chamberlain Hotel on The
Minories in London (very nice place to
stay if you're working in the city) |
|
| |
Reminds me of that 'toilet in the middle of the city' somewhere in Europe - the one with the one-way mirrored walls, that challenges you to be a reverse voyeur. If you had Sharp's 3D LCD, with the projection of the unit below (in multi-level dwellings), that'd be quite weird. |
