As cool as it looks, technology like this is still years off. It would be far too expensive for your average person anyway.

Yes, because Microsoft was incapable of taking technology that was still years off, and far too expensive for the average person and selling it for $150 with Kinect.

The basic technology involved here is a projector capable of displaying a 360° image.  Hardly a lot of sophisticated technology.


Kinect was not never before seen technology when it arrived. We had already seen technology in the past (eye toy) that can provide controller free gaming.

I think I may be thinking of a different thing though. My interpretation of this is that it is similar to virtual reality in that you are placed in the game. That is years off, but if it's simply a projection then I don't see how it could work well.
