The futuristic WC is the creation of historic firm Kohler, founded in 1873 in the village of Kohler, Wisconsin.

Their most advanced toilet yet, the latest model of the Numi was unveiled at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) tech conference, being held this week in Las Vegas.

The ‘intelligent toilet’ is expected to go on sale by the end of the year but it won't come cheap, attracting a price of between $5,625 (£4,160) to $7,825 (£5,780) according to reports in USA Today.

It offers personalised settings that let you fine-tune every aspect of your bathroom experience to your exact preferences.

That ranges from ambient coloured lighting to syncing your music wirelessly using Bluetooth.

The Numi also includes a heated seat and foot warmer, as well as warm water cleansing and hot air drying.

All of these features can be controlled through voice-command, motion control or Kohler's Konnect app.

In a written statement David Kohler, president and CEO of Kohler, said: 'Voice services and connected devices have become integrated into every facet of the home with the notable exception of the bathroom, until now.

'We provide thoughtful design and technologies that offer convenience and functionality to enrich your personalised experiences, making them easier, more comfortable, and more enjoyable.

'Whether you're getting ready for work, helping your children through their evening bedtime routine or simply in need of some personal relaxation, Kohler Konnect is the next evolution of our leading-edge kitchen and bathroom innovations that help make these everyday moments better.'

The Numi's new PureWarmth heated toilet seat features a slim design and integrated nightlight.

The Konnect app lets you control the seat's temperature, timing of the heat as well as duration, and lighting.

The touchless flush technology features a standard trip lever with a motion sensor embedded to provide you with the convenience of touchless flushing, to minimise the spread of germs.

A flush proximity sensor and integral nightlight can also be activated through the Konnect app.

The Numi also pairs up with another bathroom innovation launched by Kohler at CES.

Both products are part of the company's vision to create an all smart bathroom.

The idea is that consumers can operate the hot and cold taps, adjust the lighting in a bathroom mirror, run an invigorating shower, and automatically fill a bath to a desired depth and temperature, all by using simple verbal instructions.
