New Microsoft IllumiRoom Video Shows Reveals More Details About It

We have already seen Microsoft’s IllumiRoom project via tech demo at CES
by Microsoft. There were reports in the last few weeks that Microsoft
may release a consumer product based on Microsoft’s research’s
IllumiRoom. IllumiRoom augments the area surrounding a television screen
with projected visualizations to enhance the traditional living room
entertainment experience.

IllumiRoom uses a Kinect for Windows camera and a
projector to blur the lines between on-screen content and the
environment we live in allowing us to combine our virtual and physical
worlds. For example, our system can change the appearance of the room,
induce apparent motion, extend the field of view, and enable entirely
new game experiences.Our system uses the appearance and the geometry of the room (captured
by Kinect) to adapt the projected visuals in real-time without any need
to custom pre-process the graphics. What you see in the videos below
has been captured live and is not the result of any special effects
added in post production.
