The Pray-O-Mat is perfect for religious people on the run. The device, which was designed by Oliver Sterm from Germany, makes praying convenient.
His design for the Pray-O-Mat looks exactly like a photo booth. The booth holds over 300 prayers and is available in 65 different languages. The on-the-go religious experience is hoping to help people of faith get their daily dose of prayer in even while they're out and about. All users have to do is pop in 50 cents, select their favorite prayer on the touch screen and pray along with it.
These religious booths, which were first seen in Germany, will be making their debut around the U.K. They're being installed in 'multi-faith spaces,' according to Oddity Central.
