Japanese are an interesting bunch. From kissing eyeballs to 'eye' phones, they're always surprising the world with their eccentric trends.
But this latest trend from the land of the rising sun might just be the quirkiest. Introducing the... cardboard theatre!
The concept is simple - to mimic a movie experience that is private and comfortable. All you need is a cardboard box and a tablet or phone!
Cut a hole at the bottom of the box and another hole at the side and you're good to go! This affordable cinema will be able to cut off all light and sound, all in the comfort of your own home.
The set-up, designed to deliver a private, somewhat immersive movie-watching experience, consists of a large cardboard box and a tablet or smartphone.
