It's got a helmet and other protective gear...
Hey, let's face it... The idea of going to a concert . . . especially a rock concert . . . seems like a futuristic dream, since it's one of the LEAST sterile environments you could possibly find yourself in.
But it's a lot easier to imagine if you had a special SPACESUIT to protect you from everything and everyone around you.
Some company has designed a suit called the Micrashell, which is kind of like a half-spacesuit with its own ventilation system. It's airtight, but only covers your upper body . . . so you won't have any trouble hitting the restroom.
It has a camera, speakers, and a wireless communication system, which will even allow you to "mute" people around you.
(I could use that mute feature right about now . . . not at a concert, but in my HOUSE.)
Apparently, the idea is that the venues would own these suits . . . give them to attendees . . . and sanitize them between uses. The company says they hope to have them ready by the time concerts start up again.
