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.

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!

I saw this when they first had a video of it and thought it would be pretty cool but not worth a few thousand to me.

I would have kept my Xbox preorder if that we're coming out. A few thousand isn't much for that kind of next gen tech. Hell, my PC is over $6k and my Mac is over $3k. This would have been nothing.
