Microsoft explains that IllumiRoom “augments the area surrounding a television screen with projected visualizations to enhance the traditional living room entertainment experience” and “can change the appearance of the room, induce apparent motion, extend the field of view, and enable entirely new game experiences." Kinect captures the geometry of a room and adapts projected visuals “in real-time without any need to custom pre-process the graphics.”
In a video demo shown off during Samsung’s keynote, Microsoft showed off several different applications of the technology, noting that the footage was “captured live and is not the result of any special effects added in post production.”
IllumiRoom appears to be the realization of the immersive display experience Microsoft patented last year, which aimed to make gaming “more realistic” and eliminating “out of context images” that sit next to your TV.
Whether or not IllumiRoom will tie-in with next Xbox or the next generation of Kinectremains to be seen, but Microsoft says more details will be revealed at the ACM SIGCHI Conference in Paris in April.
I myself think is this truly amazing! I hope Microsoft do tie IllumiRoom in with the next Xbox as this will add something the Playstation won't have on its list of things.

I only really use them both for netflix but I like to see the advancements. The PlayStation vs Xbox thing annoys me, why not both? I know money can be a big issue but I saved a long time for the ps3 and I sold it to buy Christmas presents last year but I enjoyed trying it out. The only noticeable difference I found was the interface. I'm ranting... I'm a pc
The first time I tried to send this I pressed the wrong thing because I'm on my phone, the mobile version stopped working. I almost wrote the whole thing out again before realising there's that auto save function... Oh well

If you have or can save up the money to get both why not? I got both the Xbox 360 and PS3 when they came out. I hardly play my PS3 so I could of sold that really.
I would get this without a doubt.

I'll definitely be getting the next generation Xbox and PlayStation. I've been thinking about getting the wiiU. O didn't really see the point in it at first but my friend got one and it's great for party games and there's actually quite a lot you can do with a second screen

I'v never seen the point in the Wii U and I'll never see the point in the Wii U lol.
I'll be getting the new Xbox and Playstation a few months after they come out. When the 360 and PS3 came out, they both had problems ie RROD/YLOD ect.
Plus the price would come down a little.
