British company Captive Media has developed technology letting men shoot and fire at targets with their stream

Answering a call of nature in a pubic urinal usually involves staring blankly at the tiled walls while desperately ensuring your gaze does not absently wander over to the person standing next to you.

But boredom during a bathroom visit could soon be a thing of the past following the development of a urinal-based games console which allows men to aim, shoot and fire at targets with their stream.

British company Captive Media has been granted the patent rights for the technology, which allows screens to be fitted to the walls of public urinals and flips into gaming mode when approached by a visitor.

The device sits above the normal ceramic urinal bowl and plays a mixture of adverts and videogames for personal entertainment.

Here's an update on the situation. I don't know if it's related to the same company, but I have a feeling in a few years taking a piss will be a lot more fun.
