Remember Illumiroom, the device of which we spoke in January designed to expand the boundaries of our TV and offer the player a more immersive experience? Microsoft Research today released a new video that shows the potential of the device, explaining that it will be a projector to be placed in front of the TV that will cover with its image across the front wall, including the floor and ceiling.

Microsoft says that for now it is still a prototype, but also study Kinect was born when it was called Project Natal: If the tests should go through and above all practicable at a low cost, you might be proposed as accessory for the next Xbox maybe a few years after the launch of the same.

The projector will be able to work in tandem with Kinect without "blind him" with its light why, explain that the filmmakers, you can make sure that the two devices turn on and off alternatively one frame at a time, a bit like the two lenses of some models of 3D glasses. We leave you to your movie waiting to know if Illumiroom will remain only a laboratory prototype or will be turned into a real product.
