Basically, Microsoft may or may not be coming out with a system that projects video game environments onto the surfaces of your own living room through some type of Kinect device.

This could either be a huge failure or a huge success. What are your thoughts?



Personally I think that, much like an ordinary projector, it will only work well if you're in complete darkness. But hey, I've been wrong before.

Seems actually pretty cool.

This will work well in my Kinect room with no furniture.

I think it's closer to The Veldt.

You would have to tape/tack four sensor bars to the corner of the rooms to adjust the projector

this is handicapped, furniture, lighting, windows, irregularities on the walls, and even the kind of wall/paint will forget this in the ass. This will be worse than CoD:Black Ops on the wii.

Great. I can't wait to invite all my friends over to stare at my parlor walls.

Why would this be the next logical step from a single screen to a full display? Where did the virtual reality optical displays were were promised go?

$20 says that some other company (HINT HINT) will patent a slightly edited, more expensive, copy with a different name?

Well I'm actually referring to Kraft Foods but yes, Apple does do stuff like that. Their first product was an edited IBM computer that was compacted into a "Personal Computer", most of the parts were almost copies of earlier parts. Also see "Windows 2002 Tablet PCs" vs. "Apple iPad"

What I am trying to say is that Apple hasn't work on gaming technology since the Apple Pippin
