Other customers include Yamada Denki, a major consumer electronics retail chain in Japan, which hopes the machine will draw people to visit its outlets, she said.

yes but in a shower your only contact with a surface is the sole of your feet, easily covered with flip flops (this is why I said gravity was my friend)
In this you are literally seating naked where someone else sat naked. I am sure they’ll sanitize it but I just would hate it.
I am certain the end game for this one is to assist people with disabilities or the elderly though which is certainly more dignified than being washed like a dog at the groomers
