Do I have to rearrange my room again? Why Microsoft?!

Ah so thats what that is. Tbf this isn't as bad as the patent made it look. More just 'additional images' sort of thing. Terribly used here though. Like horrifically used!
Also he talks to his Xbox. No. Don't do that.
Anyway what could this be useful for?
- Things happening around you, more peripheral vision stuff that would usually be surround sound only.
Problem is I see that as more sudden flashes of light, nothing very complex.
No idea what this is trying to do.
Stuff like making the room shake is cool. Basically it uses the objects in your room.
There are stronger words with less horrible connotations you could use.

Ms has a patent regarding that. Using kinect or any other tracking device that can eye track, they see where you are looking at to render that area at full detail, and all the others with much lower detail and lower res...
The patent was developed as a part of this projection technology, and apparently the testers could not see the difference between it and the completely full resolution/detail image.

In the video it seems like the projector would need to be somewhere near the player. A projector on the controller would be interesting...

The furniture ruins the experience.

Only thing that seemed cool was the snow falling down. Everything else is meh.
Maybe they'll figure out better uses.

The pictures do this thing no justice.
Just from that video my opinions is changed, looks great!

Yeah, it's weird, but it does emphasize the focal point of the main display. Perhaps the new AMD graphics part will repurpose the Eyefinity tech for this.
Are you concentrating on the furniture while playing games? I guess it's not supposed to be an image extender, just some immersion stuff.

Wow, but some of those demos look like they can cause seizures or at least some crazy headaches.

Wasn't this already done in 2005? Old news.
...Seriously though I dunno how this is going to work in most peoples living spaces. I mean my parents had a room that would work for that in the basement, but they also had a bigger living area in a house. I feel like if this works anything like the current kinect, it is going to be complete crud. Wasn't the kinect supposed to scan skateboards? And what happened about me getting at Velocity Girls goods; I am still waiting, Allard?

It does feel like this doesn't it? The industry would love it if everyone upgraded their sets every year, so they keep trying stupid features (internet connected TVs, this thing, 3D). Meanwhile my 6 year old Bravia is still doing fine.
Because Microsoft went cheap at the last minute because they had doubts about the product.

Interesting. Could be a very immersive (uh-oh I used the word) experience. While whats on the TV is most important your whole field of view is active.
I forgot this was around the corner too. Still a fun concept.

Not nearly as immersive as Oculus Rift. Its an added bonus. But the focus on the screen with the actual room just breaks the immersion for me.

Only thing is it really looks really weird below your feet... I think it would work a little bit better if it blacked out the section blow the screen, maybe made the image going across the room like an arc.

So is this gonna release along with Durango as an optional accessory, or is this gonna come with every single box.
What I was thinking. Seems to take this concept to the extreme. Definitely interesting

My dog already can't be in the same room as me when I'm gaming. If I raise my voice even a little(I yell at my games), she thinks someone is mad at her. But yeah, all these lights would freak her out. Extending the game out like in the video seemed distracting as hell. Ambient light and weather effects, though, is really cool.

Its kind of surprising they showed this now. MS pulled out of CES. And you'd think they'd keep this for E3 if it will be part of the next Xbox.

Smaller things like sparks and bullets coming out of the screen and the snow look really nice. Having the entire viewpoint expanded looks too distracting. A lot of interesting possibilities though.

That's the usual plan for 3D cameras : having them integrated in all sort of device.
But in that case, the camera should be independent from the TV since it is supposed to scan it with the rest of the environment.
This projection thing is interesting (very gimmicky though). I wonder how they consider calibrating it. Maybe having the screen display a specific pattern for the camera to recognize...

The widened gameplay looked horrific to me. The early stuff especially.
Imagine Minecraft; suddenly the room around you begins to snow. Awesome.

MS didnt pull out at all. They're simply not giving the keynote anymore.
Yeah. Could be neat for damage indicators, approaching warning etc.
Gaming in general is already pretty seizure inducing.

But oculus requires you to use a big ass helmet to use, this requires you to wear no extra equipment, which also counts on immersion... I can see an approach like that being better suited to long uses than a VR helmet.
