More holodecks – Illumiroom

Recently I wrote about how a microsoft patent around kinect room scanning and projection looked like a holodeck in flush magazine it also ties in nicely with how kinect party does some interesting person removal already. Now Microsoft research have released this proof of concept video that starts to show the sort of blended reality they are heading towards with Illumiroom. A while back philips had a TV that had a lighting system that produced ambient lighting based on what was on screen but this…. is something different. It requires a projector understand the content on screen and the geometry of the room to enable the projector for peripheral images to make the image look like it works

It’s all very exciting stuff !
