4.6
The IllumiRoom, which was debuted at CES 2013 in Las Vegas, utilizes Kinect along with a projector, which amplifies the area surrounding the television screen with projected visualizations.

Microsoft states that IllumiRoom can, "change the appearance of the room, induce apparent motion, extend the field of view, and enable entirely new game experiences."

In September last year, this new game changing display technology was first revealed via a patent filed by Microsoft.

Within this patent, it states the system with utilize a 3D depth camera to measure the player's location by emitting infrared (IR) light patterns. The patent by Microsoft also states that the new technology will also conjoin with the rumored Kinect Glasses technology, which was mentioned in an Xbox 720 planning document that was leaked.

More information on this new concept technology from Microsoft will be unveiled at the April 27th CHI 2013 conference in Paris.

Below is a demonstration video that shows falling snow and even explosions being cast in the living room. Microsoft has stated that this video was recorded live and is not a result of any special effects being added in after production.

That game that the guy is playing looks like gameplay of Destiny (Bungie's new game that they're working on) because at 0:56 it shows what looks like to be the leaked image of destiny and a second before that it looked like Halo 4. Just a thought
