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.

Dr-PonyfileHarmfulMushroomBoarArmoredHazmat Screw you Microsoft! This is really cool and you decide to scrap the project! Your soft Microsoft. Television's cost upwards of $10,000 and they can't take a risk, making something that could cost $2,000- $5,000. Microsoft your waste!
Who in the name of god would spend $2,000+ on it though, seriously.
Also I've never seen a TV cost that much in my life.
Yeah, seconded. I MIGHT consider spending $150 but no more than $200 on that.
4k Television 10,000 for a start I would consider buying this as it does look awesome people say I may have money to burn away but the concept of it is fantastic and wish Microsoft would capatalise on this.
Same here great idea, they just need to take a risk

slapshot101 I am sure overtime this will become more affordable for home use and they will constantly improve the technology. Also I never even knew that they had this even considered for the Xbox One. I though it was just something in development.
I think it will become more expensive if the technology keeps advancing..

P22 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

As cool as this looked, I wouldn't have bought it no matter the price. Games overlapping onto your walls wouldn't be enjoyable to me. I would like to keep it all on the TV. It is cool to look at though.
