This has nothing to do with the control scheme for games folks. It's an extended display. It doesn't matter if you use a game pad, fight stick, steering wheel, or Kinect, it would allow a game to extend the display. Working in conjunction with Kinect, it would be able to track body position, head position, or even eye position, but it essentially could or would replace the look functionality by allowing the player to simply look in the direction to see from that perspective.

has nothing to do with the control scheme?  but then you end your thought with how it would replace a method of control.... hmmm....

Fair point.  Except that it doesn't necessarily replace the control scheme.  Instead of using the "look" functionality of a game pad, the user would instead just look.  It's possible that means a game developer could offer two different control schemes, one for the enhanced display and one without it.

It's main function is to provide a broader display, rather than one limited by the size of the TV.
