CarCapsule Wraps Your Car Like A Matchbox

You are sure to have a friend who is very protective of their car. Maybe you are that person. Either way, you know that look that means “Lay a finger on the hood and I’ll shove a jack up your ass.” Much like a real life Bubble Boy, the CarCapsule domes your vehicle in an anti-static and flame retardant layer of clear vinyl.

You simply park your car on the CarCapsule base, zip the clear vinyl up and around your car, and a built-in fan adds air producing the dome. You can get your own for $269 for an 8-foot version and $419 for a 22-foot version. Hopefully some stupid kid doesn’t think it’s an oversized Matchbox Car. — Andrew Dobrow

Home Theater of “Titanic” proportions

There’s a fine line between home theater and design marvel, and this Titanic inspired home theater leans towards the latter while still packing some incredible gadgetry goodness. The room was modeled after the movie, Titanic, and the luxury room designs. Lucky for us they chose upper class rather than steerage.

While icebergs might not pose a threat to the Tennessee family who inhabit this room, the threat of sinking in to their chairs and not getting up must pose a mammoth threat. How do you tell your children to do their homework when there is a room like this? The theater’s dome contains 1,230 fiber optic light strands to give the illusion of a perfect night sky. Because of domes utter lack of acoustic sound, speakers had to be moved and acoustic padding added to the walls.

Their Vidikron Model 30 ET projector shines an amazing picture ratio of 2.35:1, wider than that of an average HDTV. The projector displays onto a gigantic custom made 120 inch screen. This is one room that really would make you shout about being king of the world. — Andrew Dobrow
