Video: IllumiRoom – For Next Gen Xbox – Extended Demo

I wasn’t too sure myself about the practicalities or applications IllumiRoom would have for me based on their first demo, but this latest demo really intrigues me as it does appear to enhance the gaming experience that would otherwise stay on the screen only.

I love the Radial Wobble, whereby pulsewaves are visible in your living room. You can also see how objects from the screen fall onto the floor. There’s even the option to have extended visuals that don’t necessarily connect with what’s seen in the video but still brings something better for the game play. I advise you to watch the video (which is live footage and not CGI)

This uses a kinect and a projector. I was wondering how would this work if your screen (TV) was already a projection?

In addition to games, there’s the option to watch panoramic videos (this one I’m not sold on. It looks too distracting). It’s a bit like TV/Monitor set ups with LED strip lighting on the edges but more confusing.

I wonder how tablets/phones will interact with this.
