"OK Glass, flush!"

Finally, a use for the Leap Motion.

It was already in my hand anyway.

Not with the Moto X, "OK Google Now, flush toilet"

"Siri, spray shiri," in this case.

Less than ideal, but phones are a breeding ground for bacteria already.

...but hopefully not fecal bacteria.

I don't know, Angry Birds (and smart phones in general) ushered in a new era of bathroom-related hygienic disasters.

Yes, but you usually use the phone while seating on the toilet, then put it away, wipe, go and wash your hands. Therefore there is no contact with your phone between wiping and washing your hands. With this - you need to flush, so you will use your phone to flush, then wash your hands, and then touch your phone again - bam,all the bacteria are on your hands again.

> What’s on your smartphone? Probably fecal matter

More like "probably not fecal matter" if it's 1 out of 6.

> But that means you have to touch your phone, probably before washing your hands first.

If you can one-hand your phone, and do the other task with one hand, this isn't a problem.
