[|r|e|a|d|]

if all that shyt is true i might have to add a NextBox to the repertoire. That Illumiroom feature alone damn near has me sold. Shyt got me thinking of remodeling the gameroom.

 

[RJY33]

you are gonna be real depressed when the 720 is announced with maybe ONE of those features at best

it will be a much more powerful version of the 360, with more kinect support, networking features, and some bells and whistles. thats it. nothing magical. very likely a great piece of tech and a worthy 360 successor. enjoy it and keep your expectations in check. cant wait to up this in a few months when the xbots are groaning about all the rumored features being absent

Everyone is talking about the PS4 and the PS event on the 20th. Courtdog is right though, y'all shouldn't sleep on the 720.

@Kodie what's up with all the off topic post in here

Anyway great thread illumiroom has huge potential

 

[jalamanta]

good thread, these dudes lame as fukk, hating on anything like faggits, dude dropping some good info, but yall can't let go of yall petty beefs, and this is a Xbox thread wit really nothin to do wit Sony, but they in here for nothin but to be faggit

Good thread court nice info, hope u right about of this shyt, sound nice

And to that dumb ass dude who said he only wanna hear about games and not this other shyt, how exactly will we get any info about games when the systems hasn't been announce dumbass, most of the dhit we hear about are rumors and just something for us to discuss

how the fukk are you posting any info about consoles here dumbasses

are you working for Microsoft and Sony?

suck my dikk and calm down nerdy faggit

Everything in here has been confirmed by multiple developers already. Only thing not confirmed is the non need for a 3DTV with the glasses. And exactly how they'll treat the used game thing.
If sony was gonna go that route, Microsoft will too. And you shouldn't have to move a thing
Illumiroom adapts to whatever setup you have.. here's how it would look

I know, them haters are maaaad

Well you sound like a gamer who wishes progress doesn't happen
I'm too busy enjoying all this new tech to hate. Whats that you can do on the ps4? Oh yeah, you can upload your games to youtube now
You won bruh, you won. But if you didn't, the truth would look something like this...

Microsoft Research has taken the wraps off IllumiRoom, an augmented reality, peripheral projection technology that could be one of the key features of the Xbox 720 or Kinect 2.0.

By combining a Kinect camera and a projector, IllumiRoom augments the area around your television to increase immersion in the game you’re playing or the movie you’re watching. The best way to get your head around IllumiRoom is to watch the mind-blowing video below. Microsoft says the video is “captured live,” and hasn’t had any special effects added in post production.

IllumiRoom is surprisingly simple in its operation. Kinect captures the appearance and geometry of the room, and then this data is used to adapt the extra visuals that are projected against the wall and furniture around your TV. Microsoft Research doesn’t go into details on how the extra, augmented reality visuals are created, but presumably they’re just a secondary output from whatever software is running on the television. In the case of games, it’s fairly safe to assume that the developer would want full control over the projected visuals.

The use cases of IllumiRoom, as you can probably imagine after watching the video, are extensive. In FPSes, the projection might simply be bullet trails and explosions, but in RPGs and adventure games cityscapes and landscapes could be projected. Imagine a horror/suspense game, where beasties skitter over some shelves in your peripheral vision. IllumiRoom might also work with movies and other forms of media (action and horror movies, music visualizations, and so on).

How does IllumiRoom dovetail into Xbox 720 and Kinect 2.0? Well, for a start, IllumiRoom was shown off at CES 2013 — odd, considering this is a Microsoft Research project, and MS didn’t have an official CES presence, instead piggybacking on keynotes presented by Qualcomm and Samsung. Second, the video almost looks like a professional commercial, whereas Microsoft Research videos are generally ad hoc and amateur-shot. In short, IllumiRoom seems like much more than a pet project to Microsoft — and remember, it is Microsoft Research that developed the original Kinect, too.

It is very clear from the video, however, that the IllumiRoom prototype currently uses a strong, standalone projector — probably hanging from the ceiling. While enthusiasts might not have a problem with such a setup, it would be a hard sell to the average, console-buying consumer. This is where an interesting patent comes in, though: Back in 2011, Microsoft filed a patent on an Immersive Display Experience that includes a spherical, “environmental display” projector (pictured below, 116, on top of the TV).

The patent goes on to say that the environmental display could consist of two wide-angle RGB projectors (one facing left, one right), and that the projector could be placed anywhere in the room. There is even mention of 3D projection — which makes sense, if the TV is displaying 3D content.

Is it feasible to produce a small, spherical projector that’s capable of providing the experience you see in the video? That’s a good question. IllumiRoom was demonstrated during Samsung’s CES presentation — and Samsung does make the world’s brightest pico projector (30 ANSI lumens), and has previously squeezed a pico projector into the Galaxy Beam smartphone. By the time the Xbox 720 and Kinect 2.0 roll around at the end of 2013, maybe Samsung will have upped that to 40 or 50 lumens — not a lot, but enough if the room is darkened. It’s quite reasonable to infer that Samsung and Microsoft are working together on future hardware.

As for whether IllumiRoom is actually a key feature of the Xbox 720 or Kinect 2.0, we&#8217;ll have to wait until E3 in June, where Microsoft and Sony should finally unveil their next-gen consoles. Given Microsoft and Microsoft Research&#8217;s recent focus on augmented reality and hands-free, gestural interfaces, IllumiRoom would certainly make sense.

Now, I got this secret video nobody seen yet, but here ya go...

Then you add the augmented glasses and...

There's two "kinect" looking things in the middle pic.. illumiroom?
Because its already been "suggested" that Microsoft and Samsung are working together. I mean, they showed illumiroom during the Samsung portion of C.E.S.
If you dig, you'd find something like this...

Microsoft researcher Hrvoje Benko said the development team has explored the various ways they can use the technology.

"For the last couple of years we have explored how to use depth-sensing cameras to enable interactions on surfaces in the environment.

"Coupled with a pico projector, one can turn anything into an interactive surface. It's possible to track fingers in mid-air and reason about their collisions with other objects, thus simulating the multi-touch interactions from smartphones and slates," Benko said.

Pico = Samsung + Xbox #DoneDeal

Directional Audio?

Tuyen Pham, CEO of A-Volute: 3D Sound Projects, said 3D sound is incredible and it changes with a person's movements.

"The effect of 3D sound is astonishing. You're in the axis of the speaker and you hear sound; you move your head a little bit and the sound disappears.

"The hardware components in our technology are still too expensive to be used in consumer products, though with mass production having a device on top of or under your TV set can be something accessible for a major brand.

"The consumer device looks like a 10x20cm panel with a thickness of one centimetre. It could be placed anywhere, and I think the application of such technology for game consoles is clear.

"However, after checking with our legal department I can't disclose that. We're working with a gaming company but the information I could give is under [a] non-disclosure agreement (NDA)," Pham said.

Anything else you not sure about, just holla. I got more shyt too.
But I got some stuff I gotta get into right now so in a little while

This forums is really turning to shyt. this thread has been nothing but insults left and right. Say what you like about courtdog but his predictions in the past have been fairly accurate up to this point. The endless mattress references and insults are old and tired and need to fukking stop. Normally this would be a function of the mods, but its clear they dont give a damn about the poor quality of this forum.

Its like a civil discussion on xbox or gaming cant even take place in this shyt forum anymore. nikkas need to brush their teeth at least before spitting so much hatred and venom in the morning.

Shut the fukk up... all of a sudden mofos around here wanna act civilized? The 1 or 2 good threads/year that dumb ass nikka makes doesn't make up for the hundreds of troll/garbage threads he's made. He brought this upon himself. A lawyer could have a weekend side gig as a clown, but unfortunately it doesn't work the other way around.

 

[I Lord Justice]

for real tho, how do you have the energy for this?

No you shut the fukk up you stupid inbred piece of shyt. Stop worrying about what the TS or (anyone else for that matter) does with his fukking life. What the fukk is it to you if he decides to post all day and night on the web? Are you paying his salary or something? If the TS makes your blood boil, simply ignore and avoid his fukking posts. No one is forcing your slow, simple ass to click on the thread and comment you numbskull.

Get over yourself fakkit. Why the fukk are you on here posting anyways? Don't you have something more productive you could be doing?

Eat a dikk and die slow.

Yet you're the one on the internet another dude

 

[courtdog]

Yet you're the one on the internet another dude

If you saying that about him, what do you call what your doing
All he's doing is sticking up for somebody, while your riding another mans cockmeat because he posted about an xbox
Moving along...

First off, I haven't brought anything onto myself, this is the way cac's make up excuses for there shyt. How did I bring up anything? Because I joke around with other cool ass posters on the internet?
How about, when grownups are discussing a videogame/system/whatever
If you have nothing to add, don't say shyt. Cuz if you do, just realize you brought it on yourself

*Blows Whistle*

@Kodie
You know I'm all for fukkery, but this guy has basically declared war. I seriously do not even know who this guy is. I've already proven to you I assume that the thread thing is a repeated lie that is clearly not true. Why can't a brotha just post about things he's passionate about
If there is a better thread anywhere, why couldn't these same "non" homosexuals just go there? One day, I'll teach these bullies a lesson. You'll see...

for real tho, how do you have the energy for this?

I'm a special kind of guy I guess, cuz this doesn't take any energy at all from me
Its started from just trying to find out info via magazines, then once the internet came and I saw IGN had news months before mags would post info I realized how the internet =
Funny thing is the average person still hasn't fully figured that out yet. Thats why ppl ask for the dumbest shyt like if Google doesn't exist
How to mod a system.. How to cook any type of meal.. how to make a bomb... how to make a bytch squirt... how to properly wash a used mattress

All that shyt is on google, it all depends on "how" you ask the search questions if you ever want to find out MORE than what is first talked about.
Hollaback!!!
