What is the Eureka Room?

So I've had this idea for a long time and am finally determined to make it happen this year. It's about impossible to explain, but here goes.

The goal is to give people a unique experience that they will find rewarding in some way. The experience could be uplifting, meditative, contemplative funny or any of many other feelings. Or all of them. The current vision (subject to change) is a sort of movie-theater-in-a-trailer, where maybe 9-10 people interact with the room and each other and possible a host/guide to get to this (for lack of a better term right now) "higher state". I've written about 25 scripts for short 1-3 minute films that people will interact with in different ways. My hope is to provide these on a menu where people can choose which ones they want to combine for their experience. My friend Todd likened it to a "spiritual jukebox".

My inspiration is drawn from my interests in roadside attractions, personal growth, inspiring and helping others, and having unique experiences. I also like stupid new age shit but won't admit it.

Given how many tourists now come to Austin every single day and how few tourist things we have, I believe this has the potential of growing into something really special and awesome.
