system to turn your ENTIRE living room into a screen Quote: If you've ever wanted to recreate the cinema in your living room, or wondered what Star Trek's holodeck would really be like, Microsoft may have the answer. The firm has revealed an astonishing prototypes projector and scanner than can turn an entire living room into a screen. The IllumiRoom proof-of-concept system from Microsoft Research has been shown off playing games in a stunning promotional video.  Microsoft has refused to reveal details of how the system works until it is presented at a computer graphics conference later this year. However, the firm did say: 'It augments the area surrounding a television screen with projected visualizations to enhance the traditional living room entertainment experience Read More HereJust OMFG

meh. compared to the lumpy tablet this IS pointless.
it's just a projection :/. It's not innovative, nor is it anything you'd even want considering how bad it looks.
only for the rich folk that have a dedicated gaming room perhaps...

I think is a really cool concept, I consider it innovative given what it offers for what is required.

The Oculus Rift is the actual next gen experience for me at least but keep in mind that software wise a lot of work needs to happen and unless developers start working with them I don't see this playing high end games for 2+ years.
