IllumiRoom: Microsoft is studying new ways to expand the videogame experience

If the patent listed in our previous news might seem science fiction, today it's up again. We present IllumiRoom , a new technology being tested at Microsoft Research . It is the combination of stereoscopic capabilities of Kinect and a projector capable of making the room where we meet a whole playing field, extending on the walls what is "trapped" in the screen, thus enabling us to live an experience ever more immersive video game.

Being a prototype, it is unclear whether this technology will be available upon arrival of Microsoft's next-generation console or if the latter has a hardware compatibility for subsequent implementation, as happened with Kinect for Xbox 360. However we leave you to watching a movie, made without any use of special effects, which offers us an effective demonstration.
