Metrospective McCormack

Quando si dice il genio.

Un giorno tale Lee McCormack decise di isolarsi da tutto e da tutti.
Ma con stile.
Ecco che nasce "The Oculas", un pod completamente isolante, dotato di tutto quello che serve per essere collegati e scollegati, isolati ad un palmo dal mondo.
Una volta finito il prototipo McCormack riesce ad esporlo in un grande magazzino, un agente della Disney capita di lì ed il gioco è fatto.
Apple, McLaren e The HitchHiker's guide to the galaxy ne faranno la storia.
Il tipo sembra simpatico e informale, lo studio è a Londra quindi magari ci scappa una visita.
Il costo è di circa $45.000, 27.000 in pound, come una Audi, ma dipende dalle priorità...

"Developed over four years by renowned British designer Lee McCormack, the McLaren Formula One™ racing team, computer interface designers, and yacht builders, this is the most complete and distinctly personalized lounging oasis in the world, allowing you to safely and serenely shut out the world with the perfect levels of lighting, sound, seating, and privacy you select.

This private relaxation theater is handmade of fiberglass and integrates advanced audio, visual, seating, and environment technologies, as well as your choice of Macintosh or PC computer, to create a space that allows you to relax completely.
The Oculas has an electronic door that closes silently at a touch, cocooning a sitter inside the well-lit interior, which is upholstered with leather seating for comfort and completely ventilated for continual airflow that prevents stale air without compromising external noise reduction.
An electronic controller allows the user to adjust the light through a complete spectrum of hues and brightness levels for optimal reading, video-watching, or relaxation and sleeping.
The optional built-in massage chair accommodates a single person and has four settings from light to vigorous.

An integral surround-sound system provides clear audio and the flat-panel video screen allows you to watch your favorite DVDs, or you can connect a video game console.
The screen can also connect to the Internet for music and video downloading.

All functions are controlled by an interactive touch screen, and all materials and components have been tested to conform to international health and safety standards.
