The problem I'm thinking about is that when you squeeze shampoo from the bottle to your hand, you are measuring by eye, which is less accurate that what we can achieve with machines. Getting feedback on too little shampoo is easy - the user requests another amount. But feedback on whether there was too much shampoo dispensed is more tricky. Perhaps human voice feedback? Or a camera with image recognition? Or analysis of the soapiness of the water entering the drain? Or some kind of glove that you wear whilst washing your hair that contains sensors?
Will the cost of soap outweigh the cost of the technology (potentially amortized over some years)?
More generally, how deeply do we expect technology to get into the small parts of our daily lives? How much measuring? How much automation?
