I thought it looked really cool for sure. I do like the extra-immersion this could provide for gaming.
As someone pointed out earlier, I was also distracted from the tv screen with all the other stuff going on on the walls, so I'm wondering if that will be a common complaint from players. Maybe after we've gotten used to playing with the wall enhancements, it won't be as distracting.
Also, someone pointed out that this could be very useful with a projected keyboard, but I'm skeptical that that could actually work with the way the tech is currently setup. Everybody in the game was sitting down, out of the way of the projected visuals. If somebody is standing up playing the game via Kinect, I think that the keyboard would just end up getting projected on the back of their body where they can't see it well enough to be able to type on it. It would have to be a large, overhead keyboard, but then imagine all of the arm movements it would take to properly type out a single sentence if you had to hit each letter key like you do on standard pc keyboards.
Promising tech for sure, but I think it's going to have limitations for now on how it can be used.
