Rin This looks way better than the Oculus Rift. Now we have to expect Microsoft to make one.


I think microsoft has prob been testing with them the last couple years like sony. But it seems sony beat them to announcing it.


MS still had the illumiroom project in development last time I checked, they said they had it running great but were unhappy with the cost and size of the unit so it might still appear if they can adjust those things.

Look on youtube for it, personally I'd much prefer that than walking into walls with a vr headset.


They scrapped illumiroom for production. It was to costly for consumers, sadly illumiroom is done.
