Back when Microsoft's Kinect was just about to release, the company indicated it had a smart idea that would project unseen parts of your game onto the walls of your living room. An idea that, in reality, seemed like it would never happen.

Well, it has. A group of four Microsoft researchers have created IllumiRoom.

"Our system uses the appearance and the geometry of the room (captured by Kinect) to adapt the projected visuals in real-time without any need to custom pre-process the graphics," the team explained.
