I won't even move a coffee table to buy a Kinect, even of they had a game I gave a damn about on principle. Now they want an entire room? Fuck you
Still can't convince me to buy this. I play video games to relax not so I can do Insanity in fucking 3D

Sounds like something I don't care about.

No thanks, I don't have an empty room handy.

Great, now the graphics can look as crap as Kinnect plays.

It's like a Dreamatorium for those without an imagination!!

All of the above +1. This is a STUPID idea.

Interesting idea, save for the part where it pretty much requires a room with walls with no decoration or other furniture placed along it.
Suddenly the VR headset seems more practical.
I'd still like a holodeck, though.

Could be cool, but I don't see many people having rooms compatible with it. Also, how often do you want to have to stand up and run around in your environment? It would be a cool once in a while thing. But certainly not enough to warrant the purchase of what I'm sure is some expensive ass equipment.
Maybe it could be the future of arcades? Go down to the arcade for some virtual reality deathmatch with your buddies? Like laser tag, but cooler!

An interesting concept that seems like it would work perfectly...in empty rooms. Because every gamer spends all their money on their system, tv and not, like, surrounding furniture, AMIRITE?
This further cements my decision to just get a Wii U for Nintendo stuff, and keep upgrading my PC for everything else.
interesting tech... but I suspect it would need a large room without a lot of excess furniture... which I don't have.
This would be a neat inovation if made even a semi-believeable projection. I have a hard time believeing thats possible with curent tech. Maybe 10 years
Wow, so not only can I not have a coffee table in my living room, but I can't hang pictures on the wall either? I'm not going to have a room just for the new Xbox. Unless they bundle one in.
Sounds fantastical. It needs to take into account the furniture in the room and have the games ai react and interact with that. Soldiers tripping over the empty beer cans in the corner. Race cars smashing into the cd tower. Zombies chewing on your dog. That kind of stuff.
Sounds cool, but I'll just wait for a real holodeck. Until then my ass is staying in my gaming chair right in front of my tv.
@Kang81
But this is a definite step forward towards Holodeck technology.
This sounds REALLY fucking cool. There's tons of fun applications too outside of the gamespace. Having a party? Boom! Your room is a disco. Want to set the mood? Look, you're on a beach now looking out on the ocean.
The only real problem with it I can see is you'd really need to design your entertainment space around it. Anything hanging on or obstructing the walls would outright kill any immersion.

So much shit is going to get broken.
Forget shattering your home when you accidentally lose grip of your fancy game wand-thingy, now you're going to do it using your fucking bare hands. PUNCH THAT VASE, IT'S THE ENEMY!

@skSith... it would probably project right over furniture and pictures... but probably not nearly as well as it would over a blank wall...
Yes, this was expected. We have the good idea that is the position tracking highdef screens helmet so naturally someone was bound to come out with the exact opposite fuckery.
Look MS, I'm not rearranging furniture, striping everything off my walls, removing the windows, and painting a room white to prance around in some "3D" game. Until that shit is like a startrek holodeck then it's just 6 screens rather than VR and is no more immersive than 1 screen. Get it?
Now please stop embarrassing yourselves, get you head in the game, and stop sucking.

Are you allowed to pause? Cuz when I play the new Dixon Hill I don't wanna get stuck in my gameroom.
No matter how much you guys like to laugh at "curayyyzeee nintender", just remember;
Microsoft and Sony(referring to the other article) are working on THIS.

Well, to be fair the ONLY WAY Kinect works now is in a 12ft x 12ft x 8ft room with no furniture bare white cube room...so the real use for this is to legitimize gaming in an empty white room.
With that said gaming future is not headsets that are heavy on yoru nogging. It is not projecting the game on to three walls and a ceiling. THE FUTURE is one of the 'old fashion' hair boutique hair driers EXCEPT bigger that fits around your head as you sit. You head is free yet six inches in front of your face 300 degrees in a seamless sphere is the game world.

The tech has potential but spacial limitations would certainly make this difficult to implement effectively.
Oh nice, and for all of you who have...oh I don't know, actual god damn furniture in your house; you can go fuck yourself. You obviously have your priorities wrong if you have nice furniture.
..God forbid you have anything on your walls too. Oh and everyone who has shitty wall-paper, weird colored paint, or..well..lets look at it this way, if you're not dirt poor or a college student who doesn't own anything more than a console and a chair, you're fucked.

I can see this not being a thing people latch onto..
Actually, it sounds very much like the Kinect -let me explain:
The Kinect is a device that very much doesn't take into account (READ: Complete diregards) that a lot of people don't have the space in which to use it. Not everyone has a huge living room thats completely devoid of furnature, unless your squatting in an abandon building (and that begs the question: Where'd you get the TV, 360, the game and the Kinect, mister homeless?)
This looks as if it does the exact same thing. It completely disregards the fact that no two households are the same and throws it out the window in lue of.. I don't know.. the future?
Meanwhile, I can see this being a complete pain in the ass to use when things are being projected on things other then your walls. Didn't see that sniper? Its probably because you own a lamp that got in your way -silly you needing light!

Wow, I think I had a stroke there.. I meant to say "Completely disregards"

Hard to drop everything my room has in it to find enough empty space to play that way. Perhaps if I had a room with just a console and and a TV and NOTHING ELSE I would consider it...
I don't think that forcing players to make concessions to their setup even FURTHER is a good solution. It's bad enough that they want you to ideally move your furniture out of the way to use kinect, but if you have to take down your shelves and paintings as well, that's even more of a bother.
If this is some kind of successor to the Kinect, it'll probably be great for everything except video games.
This also seems to continue Microsoft's trend of trying to trump Apple by making everything bigger than they do, and then forcing it onto the consumer base. It's a very ham-handed and ineffective strategy.

but what if you have something called FURNITURE? do they really expect people to clear out a whole fucking room for this?
