Oh I Like This Idea





"I guess calling it a pop-up is slightly misleading, as it expands outward rather than upward, but it is interesting nonetheless. Once parked the Mobile Mini House unfolds, much like a Japanese Hand Fan, and covers a full 252 degrees. When opened, you can live comfortably knowing you have a bathroom, bedroom, kitchen, office and living room at your disposal.

The rooms are divided by a system lightweight walls that slide along a pair of tracks laid into the floor. The individual components of each room are either folded to save space or stored somewhere that can be easily accessed during set-up. Once fully extended and everything has been arranged to your liking, a membrane can be stretched over the entire thing to keep the bugs and weather on the outside."

It's cool but it just looks like too much work to set it up.

Cool... but what if it rains?

@ Wings - I think they are showing it without the covering so you can see the modular design.

I think this is sweet, I'm all for it, but will we see it past a prototype? Also Calvin do you think they will make one that can withstand a Octopus attack?

They had better or I am not buying it. I should be able to electrify the hull like the Galileo 7 in that classic. A few thousand volts will change their spongy minds pretty quick.
