I recently saw an advertisement for a comedy show that would let you bring your smart phone but required that it be stored in a pouch that prevented use. If you really need it, there would be "stations" available where the pouch could be removed. I assume that once the show ended there would also be a massive line to unlock and remove these pouches. As opposed to, say, a paper ticket and requiring people to leave their phones at home. Is that really such an outlandish request? https://www.overyondr.com/howitworks https://www.overyondr.com/howitworks

>Is that really such an outlandish request? Yes? Do you not see any of the endless ways that could be an instant deal-breaker. Anyone who is relying on ride-share apps to get there or get back; anyone driving who wants to use their phone for navigation (or even someone walking there!) or has to use an app to pay for parking; even people using public transit benefit from being able to look up schedules or get updates. So yes, I do consider it absolutely an outlandish request to require that people leave their phones at home.
