The Inizio Shower is a futuristic shower designed to both clean and entertain. Created by designer Grant Parrinello, the Inizio Shower is designed with an electronic interface that lets users do everything from watch viral videos to read the paper.
The shower is designed to be sat in and features a built-in massager that activates every time you enter with LED lights designed to further relax you. Getting a massage during a shower is nice, but the most interesting feature of the Inizio Shower has to be its built-in video screen. It isn't hard to imagine people extending their showers as they enjoy the latest viral videos from the comfort of the shower.
This shower concept seems a little too advanced for our time, but I have hope that it can one day be made. GE has put their name on it and with today's rapidly advancing technology, I honestly wouldn't be surprised to see a shower pod with built-in touchscreen display for sale in the very near future.
