people keep wanting holodeck, when I think the matrix was more in line with where we could be headed with vr entertainment.
edit:
this is SO going to happen too, you just know it!

This looks awesome. Sign me up.
Exactly, I can just imagine when the dashboard pops up. Ads everywhere 180 degrees in front of you.
A Doritos ad will be right over your shoulder, watching you.
Can't wait for this to happen
but they will not stop at the Living Room the Kitchen , Bath Room & Bed Room will also have ads that pop out at you.
open the refrigerator some ad pop out at you telling you the milk is spoiled & you need to buy their extra long lasting milk.
reach for the toilet paper & a add will pop up telling you to try their softer paper.
take a girl in the bed room & the damn Trojan Man is handing you a sample condom that's free for the 1st 2 minutes but will expire if you don't enter your credit card info.
The video is supposed to be a real demo of it in action.

hahahahaha That's one way to take over the living room.
then we could just unplug it? It's not a mandatory part of the console. It might happen occasionally but it's easy to just not use it.
I hope it doesnt happen 
You got it wrong. Kinect will scan the room, locate empty Doritos/Mountain Dew, throw up the adverts and then order you a fresh supply.
Will be weird having Doritos pope staring at someone in the toilet.

This looks actually really cool. I like it much better than 3D.

I'm honestly surprised at all the enthusiastic "hell yeahs" in this thread, after, well, six years of so many people saying we don't need gimmicks and that they're all just distractions. Gimmie a generic high powered game box and a dual analog game pad, and that's all gaming should require to be cool.
If this tech isn't the definition of a gimmick, as so many use the term, I don't know what is.

because that's not how peripheral vision works ? Adding barely readable content outside the screen would have no positive advertising effect (like for the T-Rex in Jurassic Park, you wouldn't even see them if they don't move).
It's not about simulating a bigger screen, the out of screen info only works if it's coherent with the onscreen info.

I don't feel the created image would be strong enough for this.
For me this should all be environmental stuff. Surround Vision.

Creepy.
This kind of tech reminds of Wild Palms.

I am really wondering what kind of clarity this could actually produce. If it is just a projector, then it should be pretty high right? I guess it just projects the image around, leaving a nice gap for your TV.
Would be nice to see some HD footage of something like Forza Horizon.

It should be as capable as what you can do with your TV, but not beyond that. However, it suggests that the projector also has a camera built in, for scanning the room shape and the room photograph that ripples in the video, so the camera may have some interactive uses too.

We may not be dinosaurs, but it's still a fact that our peripheral vision is very blurry and very sensitive to motion. That's why we forget everything around us when we're focused on something, or that people wave at each other to catch their attention, or that you detect moving objects "by the corner of your eyes". It's a defense mechanism, detect predators with a wide field of view, and focus on specific tasks with a narrow fov.
Ads need focus to be effective, if they're on the sides and don't move, you'll just filter them out.
How is trying to provide more immersion a gimmick? The thing is this will not affect gameplay unlike stupid motion controls. This is just to add a layer of immersion which may work for some games and may not for some but I rather they go this route then put kinect,Wiimote , move etc that affect gameplay more often than not for the worse. Those are gimmicks that actually harm gameplay most of the time. Not this..

But then they'd have less time to show shootershootershootershooterkartshootershooterplanetshooter
Yeah i don't know why i would want a pulsating room while playing Red Dead Redemption or shitty assets outline moving around, trying to grab my attention away from the screen.
I turn off the lights exactly because i want the world outside the screen to "disappear", when i play or watch a movie.
But again, they might do something cool with it, something very specific though.

Exactly! In the end, it will be up to the devs and I don't see them allowing an add where snow will be. We will see. But no more gimmicky than all the other things I described in earlier posts.
The prime position for any projector is usually on the ceiling so as to prevent anything blocking the image casted. In the microsoft video the person could technically be sitting in front of the projector depending how close both he and it are relative to the screen/wall. Either way i'm pretty sure it's on the ceiling in line or in front of his position since that allows it to cast its unobstructed image as far down as part of the floor beneath the screen
The Chatroulette of gaming?
How do you know?
lol...
Why would the room be pulsating during rdr? What if clouds would move by in the sky, dust fly through the room? This kind of stuff, not distracting, but a bit immersive.
Depends heavily on how it is implemented. Neat weather effects like lightning or snow etc can just add to the atmosphere I guess. This will be freakin epic as well but will unfortunately be so dependent on the room.

This is what I like to see. Stuff like this has quirks in its infancy, but damn can it pay off if given time to mature.

Crowd in a football game. Seeing an arrow fly past me in an RPG, or something swoop in from the side. Depending on the dev it sure could be a unique thing.
And I have a 140 inch theater wall. And I would STILL dig that.
But yes dependent on room. Just like so much tech. Caveats
Agreed.

The video makes this look really awesome. Let's just wait and see how it looks with some first hand experience though.

They could go overboard with it, and some of that video does, but there's nothing wrong with a bit of extra information in your peripheral vision.
