Microsoft unveils IllumiRoom gaming video at CESJanuary 11, 2013 - 13:39 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Microsoft has revealed a proof-of-concept video at CES 2013 for a new gaming feature called IllumiRoom, Digital Spy reported. IllumiRoom projects images on the walls surrounding a television to induce a range of effects such as changing the room's appearance, extending the game environment and creating a sense of motion. According to Microsoft, all effects shown in the proof-of-concept video were recorded in real time, without any effects added in post-processing. IllumiRoom accomplishes its effects through use of a Kinect sensor and a projector. The Kinect sensor scans the room so that the projected effects contour with other objects that might be in the room, such as lamps or bookcases. Last year Microsoft filed a patent that describes the same technology used for IllumiRoom. The proof-of-concept video shows that it is a patent Microsoft is still actively researching, and could be an indication of Microsoft's next Xbox console. The patent also integrated with a pair of rumoured Kinect 3D glasses, codenamed Fortaleza, that would allegedly add depth to objects and environments projected onto the walls.
