Uh, er, that's the Body-laptop Interface. The idea is to provide the user "privacy, warmth, and concentration" when using a laptop in public spaces. It's just a concept for now... at least until Thanko or SolidAlliance sees it.

Why?
"The idea is to provide the user "privacy, warmth, and concentration" when using a laptop in public spaces."
... Yet absolutely no awareness of what the hell is going on around them.
OMG, this is why engadget is the best tech blog, people don't just try to write funny comments, they do. Thank you guys!
I wonder if it blends though…
Is that a laptop under there or are you happy to see me?
+20 for the Lorax refs.
She can't be that cold.. Come on, she's wearing a short sleeve shirt!
Uhm, this a joke right?
The person who came up with this as a product, should be fired......out of a cannon.....into a wall.....covered in spikes.
I don't know. Maybe they can just sell the prototype to Shaq as a left sock.
Is that a laptop in your thneed or are you just happy to see me?
awesome, I really want to see someone in real life with this so i can get a shot :D

Don't make the lorax cry....
Someone would use that in a public space?
Funny gadget. Love to see someone use it in starbucks.
Is it okay to use on the plane?
Oh, forgot to mention I'm a pilot..
This has to be the 2008 version of
"I demand the cone of silence!"
for online conversions with The Chief.
Just don't Fart while wearing this thing....
and while your wearing this rediculous item, your belongings have been promptly stolen.
I'm sorry, but that is the single most harebrained thing I've ever seen.
Are these people serious? NO one is going to use that!
This ranks right up there along with other insane inventions, like the toilet-paper hat and the battery-operated chopsticks fan.
To the inventor: You can't get your time back you devoted to making this, but please, for the love of humanity, take any time you would otherwise continue to devote in pursuing this, and use it for something productive, like feeding the hungry. And then destroy every shred of evidence that this ridiculous thing was ever made.
well you've finally done it.I'm heading right out to the 24 hr pharmacy no matter the time,cost,stentch,consistency,etc. for my first purchase of ..... "HEAD ON" the hated headache remedy. This is a first that my expensive,perscription narcotic pain medications seem to be no match and doing nothing for the particular pain I experienced from the visual and attempt at processing ......WTF would a person require the......Oh Shit ....my head..........HEAD ON ....WHERE ARE YOU ?
I LOVE YOUR ADD.......Who cares about the effectiveness of the product right ? Wow, the things that bring upon such change.Ahhhh...oh well-

Great way to view porn in privacy!
Lorax: "Of course it's warm you idiots! That's why I shed the d@mn thing after the snow melted!"
finally, a way to completely remove any possibility of human interaction from the art of computing. I'm sick of seeing other people while I use my computer, and what's even better is I can make a heat chamber with a very powerful heat source, a computer!
Very nice human oven, although a bit macabre.
