If you go back to the movies his "Pod" was about 5 times bigger, split in half horizontally with teeth, flatscreen TV embedded in the walls, and rotated around the room.

Ohhhh, not to mention it could take his "Hat" off for him and store it in the ceiling. Which implied it was hermetically sealed and filtered.

This thing looks more like a weird egg with feet.]]>Feb 22nd 2008 3:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/20/armchair-paradise-pod-puts-you-in-an-embryonic-state-almost/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/20/armchair-paradise-pod-puts-you-in-an-embryonic-state-almost/Feb 24th 2008 7:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/20/armchair-paradise-pod-puts-you-in-an-embryonic-state-almost/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/20/armchair-paradise-pod-puts-you-in-an-embryonic-state-almost/
I'd buy it anyday.... If it's not ridiculously high priced, of course...

It's not like you will use it on a public place]]>Feb 20th 2008 10:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/20/armchair-paradise-pod-puts-you-in-an-embryonic-state-almost/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/20/armchair-paradise-pod-puts-you-in-an-embryonic-state-almost/
1. Let's you relax.
2. Shuts out light.
3. Surrounded by sound.
4. Possibly even sleep if it's good enough.

Most people already have all of the above. Mine is called my bedroom curled up in a soft blanket on my Tempurpedic with the lights out and my sound system on. And, since I'll always have all this stuff, it's free. Even better, I won't get laughed at.]]>Feb 20th 2008 11:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/20/armchair-paradise-pod-puts-you-in-an-embryonic-state-almost/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/20/armchair-paradise-pod-puts-you-in-an-embryonic-state-almost/Feb 20th 2008 10:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/20/armchair-paradise-pod-puts-you-in-an-embryonic-state-almost/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/20/armchair-paradise-pod-puts-you-in-an-embryonic-state-almost/Feb 21st 2008 8:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/20/armchair-paradise-pod-puts-you-in-an-embryonic-state-almost/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/20/armchair-paradise-pod-puts-you-in-an-embryonic-state-almost/Feb 21st 2008 11:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/20/armchair-paradise-pod-puts-you-in-an-embryonic-state-almost/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/20/armchair-paradise-pod-puts-you-in-an-embryonic-state-almost/Feb 20th 2008 10:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/20/armchair-paradise-pod-puts-you-in-an-embryonic-state-almost/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/20/armchair-paradise-pod-puts-you-in-an-embryonic-state-almost/Feb 20th 2008 10:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/20/armchair-paradise-pod-puts-you-in-an-embryonic-state-almost/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/20/armchair-paradise-pod-puts-you-in-an-embryonic-state-almost/Feb 20th 2008 10:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/20/armchair-paradise-pod-puts-you-in-an-embryonic-state-almost/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/20/armchair-paradise-pod-puts-you-in-an-embryonic-state-almost/Feb 20th 2008 10:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/20/armchair-paradise-pod-puts-you-in-an-embryonic-state-almost/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/20/armchair-paradise-pod-puts-you-in-an-embryonic-state-almost/Feb 20th 2008 10:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/20/armchair-paradise-pod-puts-you-in-an-embryonic-state-almost/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/20/armchair-paradise-pod-puts-you-in-an-embryonic-state-almost/Feb 20th 2008 10:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/20/armchair-paradise-pod-puts-you-in-an-embryonic-state-almost/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/20/armchair-paradise-pod-puts-you-in-an-embryonic-state-almost/
If they've got a curved lcd under that hood I'll take one. Now that a few companies are doing the cubicleless thing maybe this would be a better replacement (as long as it has a curved lcd. Keep it open for diaglogs with coworkers, close it for quiet private conference calls (hell you could even add a webcam to it for virtual conferencing).

I'd only buy one if it woke me wih a recording of "Lord Vader, we've entered the system," plus some sort of automated helmet/hat dispenser. I hear the same company is coming out with a giant videophone system.

It's already got the sound system (Which, I'm presuming, includes a kick-ass (Literaly?) subwoofer), and there'd be plenty of space in back for a high-end PC and/or consoles.

And it could do double-duty as a personal IMAX cinema.

And then people said, "Damn, that chair is not comfortable!" and they stopped buying them.

So they waited a few decades, added a little more technology, and viola! A new product that NOBODY has EVER heard of before!
