Microsoft's IllumiRoom - Gaming beyond the TV

How cool is this!

At CES in January, Microsoft Research teased its IllumiRoom concept, which involves projecting an image around a TV screen to enhance video games with additional visuals. Unfortunately, the company didn't offer much info beyond a short video that briefly showed it in action. But the team behind the project recently showed up at the CHI 2013 conference in Paris with some more in-depth details about how Illumiroom will not only expand the game screen, but completely alter the appearance of your living room.

This might to prove to be a breakthrough in the next gen console race. Seems like its microsoft's little ace.
Adoption rate will depend on the price and i have a feeling it will turn out to be very expensive.

It will be expensive for certain but it would be worth it to have something as cool as this.

A big leap in gaming
