Topic: Illumiroom

Look neato. Could be distracting a bit but also cool.

looks more like another stupid gimmick.

I actually kinda enjoyed seeing that. I kinda wish Nintendo would do that, I would like to play Mario or Zelda and seeing stuff like that happen. It would be interesting... But all in all it does seem a bit gimmicky

Took the words right outta my mouth. Luckily it looks more like a pet-project than something they're really pushing for.

I thought the technology behind it was pretty cool.

It actually looks pretty cool...but too bad it will probably be terrible and non-functioning upon release. How in the world is the Kinect supposed to project images onto a wall if it's less than two feet away from that wall? Did I miss something when I glanced over the Kinect spec sheet? This doesn't make any sense at all.

Also, someone else acknowledges Red Eclipse as a thing! For some reason this makes me ecstatic!

Seems like another peripheral that requires me to rearrange my living room. No thanks. Rather than trying to make 3D TVs and peripheral vision for TVs, I'm surprised no one really challenged the Oculus RIft. This really takes the phrase "Think outside the box." literally.

That looks pretty cool, really. I'm just wondering how well it would work in practice.

yeah, this. Can we just delay this idea for like 3 years until it's something of value and can be used in interesting ways instead of rushing half-working nonsense?

This actually looks prety cool, the concept seems pretty solid and I'm sure Microsoft ill pul it off somehow... But yeah, probably pretty bad upon release, good in like 3 years.

Looks like a good example of "cool, but totally impractical".
The warp thing was kind of neat, but everything still seemed rather distracting and silly.

Dude this is a Microsoft research project so this won't be ready for primetime for a while.
