The 2013 International Consumer Electronics Show is well underway as Microsoft showed off a video of their newest technology with “Illumiroom.” During the Samsung CES keynote, a brief trailer was shown showcasing the new tech which goes beyond the confines of your high-def sets filling up your room with images and lights.
IllumiRoom is a proof-of-concept Microsoft Research project designed to push the boundary of living room immersive entertainment by blending our virtual and physical worlds with projected visualizations. The effects in the video are rendered in real time and are captured live — not special effects added in post processing.
Using a Windows Kinect combined with a projector, the project uses the appearance and geometry in your room to adapt visuals in real-time adding flickering lights, particles and expanding the games environment seen in the trailer above.
