Tech Tools: private screenings with flat-pack cinema viewer

Cardboard viewers may be a budget way to dip your toe into the world of virtual reality, but this may be taking things too far. This is the Cardboard Cinema Viewer, which promises to recreate the cinema experience without the annoyances - rustling wrappers, crunching popcorn, the light when someone just has to check their phone – basically, other people. The cinema viewer is a solo experience: you place your phone or tablet on the outside and you lie down and stick your head inside. It's made to work with the iPad Mini and Air, iPhone 5S, iPhone 6 and other similar- sized devices, and you adjust the height of the box depending on what size device you're using. At the end of the day, though, you're just lying down with your head inside a cardboard box. For the princely sum of €33. Just think about that. Firebox. com
