ABSTRACT:
A device for viewing an audiovisual work is shown and described. A hooded enclosure containing a monitor is mounted on an adjustable-height support, the monitor being movable from an initial position to a user-selected viewing height. The enclosure is provided with handles which are grasped and pulled by the user to lower the enclosure to the user-selected viewing height, and the support is provided with a biasing member which automatically returns the enclosure to the initial height when the enclosure is released by the user. A switch is coupled to the support, such that when the enclosure is lowered toward the user-selected viewing height, the switch is activated, thereby starting the audiovisual work. Conversely, when the enclosure is released by the user, the biasing member returns the enclosure to its initial position, and the switch is deactivated, thereby automatically stopping the audiovisual work. The enclosure is sized to receive the head of the user therein and is configured to shield the user from external light, sound and glare, and speakers are provided within the enclosure, to provide an immersive audiovisual experience for the user.
