While Microsoft isn't taking the wraps off its upcoming next-generation video game console until next month, it did cast a little more illumination on its IllumiRoom projection system on Monday."IllumiRoom seems like a potentially disruptive game technology, but when Kinect was in beta and demo stages, it also appeared to have the potential to change the gaming experience," said independent video game analyst Billy Pidgeon. "At this point, the room overlay projection tech is probably most effective in generating interest with developers."The system, which is the subject of a research paper to be presented at this week's Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems in Paris, has been described as a proof-of-concept technology that augments the area surrounding a television. Among other things, it can project visualizations that are meant to enhance the traditional gaming experience.
