A Microsoft research team is working on a concept which will take your gaming experience to a whole new level, christened "IllumiRoom" the now live proof-of-concept augments the area surrounding your television with projected visualizations to enhance the traditional living room entertainment experience. A Kinect scans the shape of the room which is then used by Illumiroom for 3-D projection to paint surroundings with images.
