    Default WHOA: Microsoft reveals Xbox "IllumiRoom" concept video

    This is freaking amazing. It has to do with the AR thingy talked about for the next Xbox. It was revealed at CES 2013. From the article:

    What do you guys think?

    And yeah, I haven't figured out yet how to attach the goddamned Youtube video. If any of you let me in on the trick, I'll post it right here.
    ... The Master Of Puppets has spoken.

    Goodbye León (november 16th, 1993 - june 12th, 2009). You were, are and always will be the best friend I ever had. I will always love you and never forget you. And please, please forgive me.

    Thank you for teaching me about love, patience and caring. Rest in Peace, my friend. I hope that wherever it is you are now, you can run and play as much as you want.

    While that seems pretty awesome, I think it could also be incredibly distracting unless you had the right room for it. Looking forward to seeing more of this technology, which will apparently work with more than just Microsoft products.

    Yeah. I agree. Perhaps if the room is too crowded with furniture and stuff it won't look as good. OTOH, there's a "room scanning" feature, so who knows.

    When looked at it that way, it certainly looks pretty ordinary. But I'm guessing that whatever images are projected will be "adapted" to a certain degree to the shape and dimensions of the room you'll be playing in.
