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).

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.
