Ovei home theater pod: not for claustrophobics, poor people

By in Uncategorized on July 3rd, 2008

As with quite a few things unveiled at CEDIA Expos, the Ovei is also aimed squarely at folks with wallets so fat they can hardly contain themselves. This home cinema pod made its most recent debut at the CEDIA UK show, where the creators explained that users could slip into the air-conditioned capsule and control their home theater and / or gaming experience via the built-in touchscreen. We are told that it was designed by Lee McCormack and engineered by McLaren Applied Technologies, but aside from that, pretty much everything else remains a

mystery. The Ovei can be ordered up now for around £50,000 (that’s 100,000 of those depreciating greenbacks), but if you get ‘em to toss in some foot pedals and a steering wheel (or whatever else you dream up), count on that figure heading north in a hurry.
