  • i  love brazil{sou brasileiro}

  • doesn't look like a fun game

  • the game might get boring kids might stop brushing thier teeth if they dont like the game bet they never thought of that

  • So let me get this straight. This is another attempt at a replacement for parenting?

  • How impractical... and cool

  • not a video game. need a camera to play even thought it is a proto type couldn't you use magnetic fields. I wonder if you could play other video games like halo or super smash bros brawl.

  • lol RUB UR GUMS TO NADE THAT BRUTE OMG U MISSED STUPID!

  • That is a terrible idea. "I know, let's hook up a webcam in the bathroom and a monitor as well, this will help my child clean his manky teeth." Why not just put a photo up of dead man's teeth with "Clean, or else! written on it.

  • I know right. I bet it works, or not.

  • Since they're already in the toilet, they should make an ASS WIPING GAME. We all know kids that age can't wipe right and leave skid marks (bonus points?)

    lol...

  • two words: ACTION REPLAY!

    lol

  • A webcam in the toilet?

  • totally could picture someone creating a highscore on that game LOL

  • totally could picture someone creating a highscore on that game LOL

  • She pwnd those teeth.

    I could see this screen being installed into a mirror. Could be a msg board too...touch screen...waterproof. Have every member of the household as a user. See who does the best brushing each week. Family prizes. Every brush could have sensors. Hook it into the shower and shitter. Who crapped the most this week? Daaaad...again. Who showers the most? Mom cus she's having an affair. How much time did lil Billy spend 'on the toilet'?

  • that game wouldnt last very long tho, shits borrring after maybe 5 tries

  • This Is Soo Cool

    Bet It will Be Alotaa Muney Tho

  • Man i'm thinking of going on to do dentistry and this i must say is pretty ingenius

  • I want it.

  • I love this game....it is so fun, the coolest thing I ever seen:P

  • Cool...I want buy that!

  • Hua - Do you not believe that desire is the cause of all violence?

  • my high score on this is 864385643 :P

  • YES SHE BRUSHED HER TEETH LIKE A PRO

  • just got a cheat code! did it under three minutes :)

  • zomg she 100%ed her teeth

  • on expert!

  • Throw that Nintendo Wii the the freaking Garbage - Make way for the Ultimate Console in fun. BRUSHING YOUR TEETH.

  • actually, speaking of nintendo wii, couldnt you attach a toothbrush to the end and do the same as this?

  • wow so creative I would totally buy one and I'm 21 ha ha ha

  • Lol. Me too, totally!

  • totally, but i read in newspaper and they don't want to sell it :s

  • i'm waiting for blowjob game ;)

  • excellent idea

  • HHAHAHHA great

  • it'th tho thuper to thee you.

  • wow the guy narrating this video makes me want to blow my brains out

  • I don't know about all of you, but many kids, even when educated on proper technique, don't brush well simply out of lazyness. Making it into a game makes it fun which makes the kids do a better job. Perhaps the researchers are mistaken in their idea that this could teach children. But you have to admit that it would be very useful for encouraging them to do a good job.

  • I take it back, they don't suck in general, that was too harsh. Obviously they have skills that fit this sort of work.

  • Swedeminator, Not all scientists are created equally. These ones just suck, and as a result need to do pointless research to contribute to society. Do you really want the geniuses behind this to work on cures for cancer?

  • strong lisp

  • Wow! That one is very interesting technology

  • great, next we need a computerized asswipe.

  • I think they have those in Japan too.

  • hidden? theres a wire comming out of it....

    lol

  • Gee, im glad the camera is hidden!!!It could worry the poor child. How about the parents taking the time to teach them?

  • the only thing i see wrong with this is that it is basically a hugh hunk of electronics which is but in a place where there is noticably alot of water

  • not every scientist in the whole world can concentrate on just cancer and the ozone layer (besides brushing your teeth can prevent oral cancer)

  • What i meant was, this seems extremely unnecessary, they could have made something useful instead of this piece of crap.

  • i guess so (too much potential in some technology is going to waste)

  • And you could have written something constructive instead of just flaming. Not everyone can dedicate their lives to saving the world from the horrible evils of the dark ozone empire.They've developed a game that actually teaches children something, in contrast to some game with no point what so ever like WoW or random FPS. If everyone was as ignorant as you, those games wouldn exist, And I bet you've dedicated alot of your worhtless life to those games instead of saving the world from ozone.

  • You missed the point in my comment. What i meant was, they could have used this technology for something useful instead of creating this pointless game. I mean, arent parents supposed to teach kids this kind of stuff? You can just watch them while they brush their teeth and teach them how to do it yourself, it only takes a few minutes per day!

  • Not every scientist deals with environmental science and medicine, dumbshit. And truth be told, the people working on this project were ENGINEERS.

    Try going to university.

  • i would love to have a big box in my bathroom to help me brush my teeth..

  • What a load of nonsense.

  • WEB CAM HIDDEN ABOVE...u see that big ass for cord comeing from the rose...hahahha

  • I like it, neat

  • Electricity in the bathroom????????!

  • Of course. Where else do you use curling irons, blow dryers, electric shavers, etc.?

  • It's not very common to use any of those or any other electrical device in a bathroom here in the UK (I don't know where you are from). Only if special plugs are fitted are electric shavers used and as for the others you mentioned, people tend to use them in the bedroom. I think this may be due to the higher voltage of mains electricity in Britain (240V).

  • In America we have electrical outlets in bathrooms, kitchens, and even near some swimming pools, the only difference is we are required to have GFCI outlets near these areas which monitor the flow of the current. Making it safe for us to shower and blow dry our hair at the same time. lol, well kinda of anyways, oh and instead using 240v outlets we use 120v outlets. Plus on top of all that we ground like everything including our grounds. I hope that clears everything up for u.

  • lol,what man u r talkin about :D in poland we also have 240 volt and electricity in bathroom is normal thing. Oh, wait, I forgot one thing - whole England is different than rest of the europe, left oriented streets and such... So electricityless bathroom - why not? Less deaths. Though probably more people just slide on the water and bash their heads on the floor or somewhere. Death balance must be same in each bathroom on the world, lol. I am weird :D

  • Yep

  • kids are becomming SOO lazy these days, next there will be games to help them breathe, or put their shoes on....or having a dump perhaps!

  • Dear lord, just watch your kids as they brush. It only takes a few min.

  • It's a "grad" project?

    The World Health Organization has tooth decay/country data(which I needed to settle an argument w/hubby). Conclusion: Kids w/toothbrushes do o.k. Poor kids in India w-o/toothbrushes who chew Sugarcane have more cavities.

    Simply ask your Nanny to brush those teeth on your behalf. Telling kids to go "E" to expose front teeth and "Ah" to expose back teeth and helping them brush will keep you away from your fav. shows.

  • imagine paying for that for your child so that s/he can't brush their teeth 'properly' as oppose you can just teach them to brush their teeth properly like a parent???

  • Narrator sounds like tool.

  • and what the heck a tool sounds like LoL?

  • i wish i had one like this :D

  • That's OK, but Il'l stick to the 'old school' method. If Iv'e gotta watch another screen to brush my teeth theyl'l probably slip in another commercial somehow.

  • cool

  • Just goes to show how all those games are really just training us yhow to compete bor kill in the case of those xbox war games eh better teeth better dearth machines

  • exelent!

  • I wish I had this when I was small.

  • Do we really need a computer to tell us if our teeth are clean? People have become far too lazy.

  • no kids just don't care enough. why do you think you always got your cavities when you were in grade school but not in high school or as an adult nearly as much?

  • no its not to tell is if there teeth are clean its to teach them how to clean there teeth just so that there over all oral health is improved ^_^

  • thats cool. but this guys voice made it sound horrible, he sounded like he was struggling to breath on a few words

  • cool

  • genius !

  • needs more gravity guns

  • I guess the real pay off is in the long run.

  • but ill still get the high score lol

  • not as good as portal or garrys mod xD

  • nice first!
