CES 2013: Microsoft reveals Xbox IllumiRoom concept

by Lee Dobson | on January 10, 2013




http://allthingsxbox.com/wp-content/...620&zc=1&q=100 Microsoft have unveiled IllumiRoom, a proof-of-concept system which uses Kinect and a projector to augment the area around the television screen with projected visualizations.


Microsoft say the visualizations can “change the appearance of the room, induce apparent motion, extend the field of view, and enable entirely new game experiences.” The tech was first outed via a patent Microsoft applied for last September, more information on the concept system will be revealed at the CHI 2013 conference in Paris on April 27, until then check out the demo below.

Could be pretty awesome with the FPS type games (and pretty much anything else).

That looks cool as hell...I saw this about 3 years ago but not from microsoft, I might of posted it on the forums.

Here is the video for this

If they combined that wit the 3d content so that the picture didn't seem to just end at the edges holy shit! ...what the future holds for gaming...

i hope the picture would still be clear HD

and i wouldnt want anything to the right or left of my television just the wall behind it

The purpose of this is to make you feel like you are completely surrounded by the gaming atmosphere to give you that immersive feel, if you only have the projection behind your tv it wouldn't feel the same.

wow i just watched that video and holy balls thats awesome.

holy shit if i had that then i would really have no life
