While the objects on their own aren't exactly "cyberpunk," they are very much a digital-dystopia kind of thing. A seemingly innocuous use of tech that could very easily be used to shatter the privacy of any individuals that come into proximity of it.

I hadn't even thought about the privacy implications. My first thought was "All I want to do is empty my bladder and the people hogging the urinals are moving slow because they're playing games."

They may be using IR or ultrasonic sensors to detect the urine streams, but I wouldn't be surprised to find full-on cameras in there.
