Marriott has transformed the shower door to a digital notepad. Many of us have brilliant ideas that come to us during the show but never a place to write them down. Here’s how it works: once the doors get steamy enough, guests can draw or write on it. Your masterpiece will then be emailed right to your inbox and your moment of inspiration won’t be lost. This shower door is currently being tested and is designed with business travelers in mind.

This idea came after Marriot survey their guests and discovered that many of their business guests said that most of their inspiration comes while showering. You can check out this shower door in action through their “Splash of Brilliance” campaign.
