Microsoft IllumiRoom envisions an Xbox 720 'with a projector'

why not a build a Quality affordable projector to play a game in full screen?....1080p?

I'm sorry but I don't think that is very cool at all, just look at how bad the projections look! It might be cool with some third-person games, but I feel like it's weird when its first person because its not like extended peripherals its like seeing everywhere . . .

Awesome!!! Gotta see it in real action.

This looks amazing and I can't wait to get it (that is if the price is right). Hopefully the new kinect will be what most of us expected it to be originally (and more) and that this with it will be as good as it looks.

even if xbox is going to have sex with me :

always on = i won't buy it

This is a cute littel device that open some posible new features, but if teh price poit is to high than this will fail. I would get this only if it was under 75 dollars, and only because it would give me an advantage at FPS.

Can you say "somebodies about to get an epileptic seizure" in French?

Take my car,take my home (well for the size of the room I will need another home).

Ps: Maybe they will make a way to install the projector in the wall instead the coffe table, helping people with too much space.

What is a coffee table? :)

we're getting closer to that 'holodeck' experience that we want so much. I like it. Will my wife let me buy one...doubt it! haha

So first person shooter becomes third person. Looks cool but I wouldnt buy it.

This looks pretty neat. For me I can't see it really working, I'm the type of guy who pulls chair in front of the entertainment center and kicks back to play games, I can't even grasp how someone can play a game 10 feet away on a couch to a 40" television (concept video). Besides, I won't pay an extra $250 - $350 on top of a $400 - $500 console just for a blurry outer image around my TV, no doubt it'll help with immersion, but it's not practical to me.

playing this with Dead Space will make you shit for real.

Way cool!!

proof-of-concept,
looks cool, but looking back at how the kinect works,

I got to say, that looks ****in' awesome!!!!!

*Feeling the Xbox love returning..*

I think its awesome. It would definitely augment my game experience for the better. Can imagine a noir-style level, the rain illusion dripping in the room etc. Not that it will necessarily move games forward, but definitely an enjoyable feature. Of course, I stopped playing xbox in the living room years ago, I just sit at my desk and play it through my PC monitor. Not sure if I could go back to sitting so far away from the screen..

Sweet looks cool, another cool feature to add to my living room of tech.

This looks cool.

Want a bigger image? Buy a bigger tv.

So much enrgy and money invested in an almost useless gimmick....

neat but meh

Maybe not world changing but looks like it would be really cool.... for the right price (the big kicker).

Awesome

Compared to the Oculus Rift, this is just an useless gimmick.

@PSYCHOV3N0M @godzillavskong lol

Nintendo is bound to be jealous of this, come to think of it. Cause this is the type of thing that could have given the Wii U that extra edge..

and whats this mean - do i gotta buy an expensive projector?

Ms is going to over take Nintendo on producing useless gimmicks that do not push gaming forward. This better stay concept.

If they want to do something that actually moves things forward in the world of gaming support the Oculus Rift instead of waiting 5 years when VR is well established, then jumping into the market and failing hilariously.

Honestly. MS is just brutal at pretty much everything lately. They literally have commercials for their browser and search engine..seriously? I thought a browser and a search engine was the best form of advertising on?

Cool, but it would be way cooler if Microsoft just bought the Oculus Rift. No expensive monitors or projectors needed.

3...2...1....SEIZURES!

stupid gimmicks, cant we just focus on games

This is super fuckin impressive.
