I-Min

Last Sunday me and my wife watched Spideman-3 in Hyderabad Imax. It was a good movie. On my way back, i got excited about a new idea... The I-Min.

Why can't i start a new theatre chain on the concept of I-Min? This works exactly opposite to the I-max concept. I-max is all about big things.. I-Min is all about small things. There would be a very small screen in the centre, people need to use special glasses to watch the movie. These special glasses will magnify the images and bring them the theatre effect. Each seat would have headphones, so people could adjust volumes as they desire.

I can have multiple screens in the centre and can hence show different movies at the same time. Since each seat will have a personalized audio, this should not be a problem. All people watching a particular movie will be seated facing that particular scree. I dont even need a closed theatre... and hence can accomodate a much bigger audience.

Thats it... here is a theatre, which screens so many different movies at the same time. People can personalize their audio, more space, more personalization, no queues, better box office collections... Thats the world of I-Min

Dont laugh.... who knows what will happen tomorrow...When telephone was first invented and Western Union was given a chance to buy all rights for the telephone patent for just $ 100,000, its then Chairman asked "What use could this company make of an electrical toy?" :-)
