The CX20 is a portable shelter that combines "the adaptability of a tent, with the durability of campers," according to manufacturer CMAX System Inc.

Originally designed to house refugees, the units fold up to just 37" in width, making them easy to transport.

Once on-site, the sides are folded down and become the floors. The black circles you see are actually height-adjustable feet on large threads; you turn them to increase or decrease their height, so you can deal with uneven terrain. (That said, the ground will still need to be relatively flat; the feet only have 60mm, or 2.36", of travel.) The unfurled structure, the company says, can sleep eight.

Assembling a CX20 requires no tools, and the company says two people can do it in 11 minutes.

In addition to housing displaced people, the company reckons the CX20s can be used for everything from camping to medical tents.

Prices aren't listed, though New Atlas reports that the CX20s cost $8,000 each.
