Family restrooms are unisex but unlike other unisex bathrooms that allow only one user at a time, the family restroom contains multiple stalls designed for maximum privacy and communal washing area for use by both genders. The family restroom is designed so that a parent with a young child of the opposite gender can bring the child into the restroom with them without the concerns associated with single-gender restrooms. Family restrooms have started appearing in newly-built sports stadiums, amusement parks, shopping malls, and major museums.At Matsushita, we strive to achieve universal design in our products, instruction manuals, packaging, and catalogues, in line with the six basic elements of our universal design policy. We aim to improve overall satisfaction (usability) in terms of operability, efficiency, comfort, and convenience by adopting the customer's perspective right from the planning and development stage. In fiscal 2005, we launched a new system of collaboration with Matsushita Electric Works, and together we are continuing to made advances in the field of universal design.This Walker Dialogue voice carry-over phone allows users to speak to callers while reading their words on a built-in screen.Cars have had “keyless” locking systems for decades,Why not have themfor doors at home?What a simple idea: as you entera space or environment the lights automatically go on.
