Hide Behind Your Tiny Hands are a set of spectacles that you wear when viewing a particularly tense film, or one that contains scenes of graphic horror.

The glasses are fairly conventional, except they have a pair of tiny hands attached to them, which automatically swing down in front of your eyes at predetermined points in the film. Films broadcast markers at key points that the glasses receive and interpret.

The glasses can also be calibrated according the viewer's individual tolerance, with the hands being capable of parting the fingers slightly so that the film is still just about visible between the gaps in the digits.

Ear phones complete the arrangement, with soothing music interjecting where required to replace the sound of screaming as bones are being sawed for example.

A related idea, from HHGTTG [hippo, Nov 12 2006]

These would go well with fingerphones - also by xenzag fingerphones
Especially if the fingers moved. [Ling, Nov 14 2006, last modified Nov 15 2006]

       If I get a pair for my dad, we could watch fight club together...

       Just beautiful [+].   

       Edit: What [hippo] said (below)

       I don't think the ear phones fit with the idea - there should be matching tiny hands to block the ears.

hippo, Nov 14 2006
  

       And a tiny hand for your mouth, in case you try and tell anyone what happens in the film, to someone who's not seen it yet.

zen_tom, Nov 14 2006
  

       - and a tiny hand to clamp down on your crotch in case you're desperate for the loo but can't tear yourself away from the action.

       This is SO good. +

       And fingers to stick in your ears when you don't want to hear what someone's saying.   

       The little hands could cup around your ears to listen to the whispered bits... and slap the insensitive clown next to you when he starts talking during the good bits.

       "What we got here is a failure to communicate. Some men you can't reach, that is they just don't listen when you talk reasonable so you get what we had here last week, which is the way he wants it, well he gets it, and I don't like it any better than you men. If he had just taken his tiny hands octopus contraption off, maybe he wouldn't be here today."   

       The Many Cool Hands of Luke- coming soon!

       This is just awesome. My suggestion for another tiny hands device: a tiny fist to punch the joker using his cell phone.

Noexit, Nov 15 2006
  

       How bout a tiny hand that catapults popcorn or m&ms at your face every few seconds... or gummybears at the movie screen if it sucks...

rascalraidex, Nov 16 2006
  

       "That moviescreen sucks!" *pelts with gummy bears*   

       The movie's not too bad though!

DesertFox, Nov 16 2006
  

       Does it have manual override?

Jscotty, Nov 16 2006
  

       and a tiny water pistol to squirt the nice fellow kicking you in the back of your seat.

abhorsen1983, Nov 17 2006
  

       Is this really necessary?

apocalyps956, Nov 18 2006
  

       Yes!!

dev45, Nov 18 2006
  

       Y'know, I think I saw something like this in one of the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy books.

HalfBaker, Oct 06 2007
  

       Yes, you did. The Joo Janta 200 Peril Sensitive Sunglasses. This was already linked, last year. Those were not the same because they shielded you from actual danger, not fake movie scenes.

21 Quest, Oct 06 2007
