Xbox One Illumiroom projector too expensive for home use
If you’re a bit like ‘Illumi-what-now-huh?’, then you can watch this showcase demo of what the projections would have looked like below.
The tech was said to be housed within Xbox One’s Kinect sensor as standard but now, speaking with AusGamers, Xbox One head of product planning Albert Penello has said it’s unlikely to head to your home.
He explained, “I wouldn’t expect you’ll see that. It’s really super-neat if you’re in the lab and you’ve got Microsoft money and you could totally set up this awesome lab, but… we looked at it, but for an average customer it’s, like, thousands of dollars [for the set up].”
Do you feel this is a big loss for the console? Let us know below.

We, my friends, are in the future! I can see this evolving to wall projection rather than using monitors. Oh my, that's freaky as hell. I wonder how it would do with racing games that have a cockpit view. Maybe you could see outside of the car as well? The potential this technology has is ridiculous.

Dumb_Modz that was the one thing that made me want to get it
Same, seeing that trailer made me get over-excited and now it turns out this will never happen.

-InsanelyAwesome- It is expensive for something that will not be a fully great experience until more than likely the Next Next Gen consoles in like 7 years time. That is just my opinion though it is a good concept just for me to fully love it, it needs tweaking a lot over the next few years ready for the Next Next Gen.I agree I just think that the technology is not there yet but in the future it will definitely be there. It seems like a weird concept, to expand the screen like that and to immerse you more, they really could have just expanded the 3D capability of this console with all the 3D Tv's out there.

KatsumiP22 thats way over rated...honestly if you spend that much..you would be spoiled..or flat out rich
hence why it is classified as "Too expensive for home use", while i wouldn't consider getting one it is a really cool concept in my opinion
If I had the money I would totally get it. It's amazing and brilliant.
