Microsoft RoomAlive: The Other Resident - Tech Demo 

Last year before the release of the Xbox One, Microsoft showed at CES the glimpse of the future with the IllumiRoom. It was a concept designed to take your take your Xbox, TV and a projector and combine it to fill your wall with games and media. 

Now a year later Microsoft has renamed the project and showed off more of it's capabilities in their newest tech demo. The project now called IllumiRoom 2.0: RoomAlive, supports multiple projectors that fill the walls of your room, creating an interactive and immersive experience.

The new demo titled The Other Resident is as Microsoft describes frightening as it as inventive and you can view the demo above.

Now keep in mind, this is all concept and it is doubtful that it'll make it's way to our homes any time soon. It is however, very interesting to see the concepts and design that Microsoft are working on at their Research HQ.

If you would like to read more about the project you visit Microsoft Research here and if you want to see the original IllumiRoom concept you can here.

Question is, if this project becomes a reality and does make it's way to our homes would you want it? Or would your prefer Sony's and Oculus virtual reality with the Morpheus and Rift?
