Default The shape of things to come ... ?

Strong magnetic panels, same booth style.


I keep thinking of something sort of like a shower stall but with no
plumbing. Totally smooth walls, some part of them transparent, with
millions of lumens of lighting behind them. There has to be a door to
get in, but when you close it behind you, it fits so closely to the wall
that you can't see the gap. (Reference the sphere that drops through
the rings of the machine in the movie "Contact".)

You go into this room or booth when you want to take something apart
that you suspect has tiny parts, or parts under thousands of pounds
of spring force. No matter where the part goes, it has to be
*somewhere* in the booth.

There are probably some thermal issues with it, though. (Humans
radiate a fair amount of heat.)

Very high speed video of the work area and "all ya gotta do is" play
back in slow motion.


When I first thought up that booth, this would have been insanely
expensive. Now it's down to just really expensive.
