Abstract

Mini-théâtre conçu pour être mis en application dans le salon d'une habitation et monté au moyen de l'accouplement détachable de l'unité de support arrière (37) à l'unité de support avant (36) d'un bâti (35). L'unité de support arrière (37) sert à supporter au moins une première personne dans une position permettant à cette dernière de mettre en service un dispositif récréatif, tel qu'un jeu vidéo monté à l'intérieur du bâti. Ce bâti comprend des moyens de couverture (44) servant à recouvrir de façon amovible pratiquement la totalité du bâti, ce qui permet d'amplifier l'ambiance de l'expérience vécue par les joueurs. Dans des aspects particuliers, au moins l'unité de support arrière peut être repliée ou sinon démontée, de manière à pouvoir la ranger, tout en laissant en place l'unité de support avant.
