Microsoft's New Technology Changes Your Living Room Right Into A Video Game

By Annabelle Aten


A new patent that has been filed through Microsoft shows your entire living room being transformed into an online game environment. The latest technology is likely to be part of the Xbox 720 and will be able to project the environment of a game you're actively playing into the walls of your games room. The system is being known as "environmental display". For Microsoft this would certainly be taking the Xbox 360 Kinect to another level, and something no other console has carried out before.

The environmental display is apparently meant to tie in with Microsoft's 3D Kinect glasses which have the ability to track exactly where you are looking and create a 3D image.

Aside from the projection system there is a 3D depth camera that sends out infrared light to find a player and place you in the environment. The ecological immersion system that Microsoft will perhaps 1 day be developing is an extraordinary feature, the Xbox 360 console was made much more prosperous with the release of the motion sensor Kinect, so is motion sensing the near future for gaming?

This sounds really fascinating and will take gaming to the next level. The concept of virtual reality has been around over the past 2 decades but it never truly taken off. Console designers have embraced high description and now motion sensor technology instead. 3D gaming also has reared its head yet gaming has yet to reach the levels of virtual reality. The idea of showing an environment surely seems to be taking the idea of virtual reality and creating it a chance but there are some drawbacks.

The Xbox 360 bundles together a hardcore gaming experience and with Xbox Kinect you can choose to play more active and enjoyable games. Amongst the major flaws of this system we can see is the call to have a vacant room along with white wall surfaces? How many of us have an extra room in our house that's dedicated to our Xbox 360 console and has no furniture? Predicting an environment practically rules out the vast majority of gamers. Individuals only do not have an extra room and this is exactly where things get difficult.

If virtual reality was depicted in television or films, it's often been created through a headset of some sort. Only time will tell exactly what Microsoft is planning in this patent but we are in for an interesting gaming future. It certainly is a very interesting concept, and one that might be developed for the next generation of Xbox consoles.
