# Mini Headset Cinemas The iPhone Theater by Mike Enayah Scales the Smartphone Screen to Movie Size By Meghan Young | Published 2012-10-26 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iphone-theater References: [psfk](http://www.psfk.com/2012/10/iphone-mini-theater-headset.html) & [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/gallery/iPhone-Theater/5388119) The iPhone Theater may look like a retro virtual reality device, but it actually offers a mini movie watching experience--which, let's face it, is very similar to virtual reality. The iPhone Theater is made up of a pair of quality headphones that have a unique movable attachment. This attachment, which lifts up when not in use and pulls done when in use, holds the users iPhone in order to provide a more visually immersive experience. It is also adjustable to allow for optimal vision distance. Conceived by Mike Enayah, a designer based in Farmington Hills, Miami, the iPhone Theater was designed with the iPhone 5 specs in mind. Dubbed GrabCAD, the iPhone Theater basically scales the iPhone screen to the same size as a movie theater screen. It is perfect for train rides and flights. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.0/10 - Popularity: 74% | Activity: 69% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Mini Headset Cinemas:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the personal entertainment industry by creating portable and immersive movie-watching experiences. - **Virtual Reality Accessories:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the VR industry by developing adjustable accessories that enhance the visual immersion of mobile devices. - **Mobile Entertainment Solutions:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the mobile technology industry by designing innovative solutions that provide optimal vision distance for watching movies on smartphones. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Personal Entertainment:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the personal entertainment industry by introducing portable devices that provide immersive movie-watching experiences. - **Virtual Reality:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the VR industry by developing accessories that enhance the visual immersion of mobile devices for entertainment purposes. - **Mobile Technology:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the mobile technology industry by creating innovative solutions that optimize the movie-watching experience on smartphones. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Portable XR Screens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rayneo-air-3s-pro.md) - [Speaker-Flanked Projector Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-mini-theater.md) - [Phone-Casting Portable Projector](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cinebeam.md) - [Pocket-Sized Quality Projectors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yaber.md) - [Dual-Display Smartphone Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iphone-vision.md) - [Cinematic Projector Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xgimis-horizon-max.md) - [Live Theater AR Headsets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/conceptual-ar-glasses.md) - [Transforming Smartphone VR Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/porket-vr-phone-case.md) - [High-Res Bluetooth Projectors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xshow-home-theater.md)
