"On Target" Video Game Urinal

Set back into each urinal is a pressure-sensitive display, which activates an interactive game when used. This game includes sounds and images, bringing entertainment value to where you'd least expect. It will most likely will be installed in airports and schools "with the functional purpose of improving hygiene".
"The projection of the project into a museum space was conceived of as a critical-ironic measure, questioning the concept of art, but extending it at the same time."

More details "Inspired by Dan Maynes-Aminzade's final project at MIT (called You're In Control - a pun on urine control), his original design featured a Whack-A-Mole style game and a controller which combined the functions of "nintendo-style game controllers, plumbing equipment, and strap-on dildo harnesses" so girls could have a go. You've gotta see it to believe it." From here Although apparently the 'game' may be a rip off rather than an inspiration.
