Now that many people prefer to watch video content on their mobile devices, people are seeking smaller options like the Solo Theater to shrink the family-sized home entertainment system into a solution for one.
This theater for one created by Lucy Alter Design has a user lie down on their back, place the unit over their head and open their eyes for the experience to begin. What powers the personal theater experience is an Apple tablet or phone secured in place with a band.
Once inside the theater, an audience of one is made to feel as though they are inside a movie theater, complete with rows of people ahead of them, as well as a big screen to look at. This innovative theater concept shows just how much consumers are rejecting big movie theatre screens and TVs in favor of more portable, multipurpose devices as a means of viewing entertainment.
