A hydraulic press slowly lowers the song 'All I ever need is you' by Sonny & Cher on the record player. The trumpet gets crushed and the paint can explodes, splattering everywhere. […] ]

I think it could have the same effect as the heated chairs at Korean bus stops. It is a product of Sony Thermo Technology, an affiliate company created through Sony's in-house startup development program. […] ]
