This would be incredibly useful—if the [hands-free faucet](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pillar-handsfree) hadn’t been around for the past, I don’t know, decade? OK, so I can understand that some people may want to have the power of [touch-activated water](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/phantomy-software) over the illusion of magically appearing water, but for the same money, who wouldn’t go hands-free?
