IllumiRoom Makes Your Entire Room Your Gaming Screen

Gamers are always looking for the ultimate gaming experience. Whether that is the game itself or the accessories used to immerse the player into the game is of course a personal preference. When it comes to accessories that are created to put ourselves in the center of the game, so far virtual reality has been the only way to do so. The progress within virtual reality has been anything but impressive, if I may humbly say so myself. However, as of late, there are a few projects that could possibly change all that. But what about now? Is there anything available that might inject us into a more realistic gaming experience? As a mater of fact, there is, and it comes from the brilliant minds over at Microsoft. It’s called IllumiRoom, and it will make your entire room your gaming screen.

When it comes to gaming experience, Microsoft has been putting out quite a few successful gadgets lately, with the Kinect being the most successful one. But this IllumiRoom gadget might create an even more immersive gaming experience. The fact that you can make your whole room your gaming screen is something I think anyone would like to do.
