Here’s a hint. .. Lookup Japan, rope seats, personal hygiene.... And a creek. .. That should get you started on your research. ...
“Trust me Taylor. ... You won’t like what you find there “ .Dr. Zayus.
For those worried about being “seen” I don’t think it’s a problem. The “natural” state of the plastic/glass material is probably opaque. When voltage is applied, the composition changes and it becomes translucent. When a person is inside and the door is locked, the voltage is off, so the glass is opaque, and the user is not visible. Upon unlocking the door and leaving, voltage is applied, and the interior becomes visible so the next person can see that it is vacant and available for use. Simple.
“It’s part of their national obsession with cleanliness.”
US cities, especially those overrun by vagrants (AKA “homeless”) should study what the Japanese do about the problem and follow their example.
“I’m worried it will become transparent due to a malfunction,”
At the worst possible time, like after a bad burrito dinner?
Looks like that dutch pisser, or whatever, dumps right into the canal?
*ouch*
The optimum material is polycarbonate: a specific gravity 40% of glass, indestructable, naturally translucent and dirt cheap; but can it be formulated to change opacity with electric current or other input. This requires American ingenuity.
Looks like Yoyogi Park... I think I know that spot.
The Chinese are catching up.
I live in a very rural appalachian area. Many of the older homes do not have septic tanks-raw sewage goes right into the creek behind the houses.
Down the creek you see people swimming every so often.
Most of these homes are old coal company company houses from the turn of the century.
I think that sums it up.
Lovely!
I didn’t notice that. Heh.
No way.
I raise you a two story outhouse;

I have been there.
That is cray-cray! :)
