From the title I thought they were showing .people the future of X1 like info on illumiroom or something...


Illumiroom if cheap enough, could be a game changer. Easy way to cheapen it up, is to make The projection system a add on to Kinect. This way people could slide it together and the only piece they would be paying for is the projection. I think this would be genius.

Or just get rid of the kinect completely and bundle illumiroom . We don't need kinect, there is a controller and media remote now. :D 

they need kinect to use Illumiroom. So it is worthless with out it.

Illumiroom is not going to happen.

A $300 projector is not going to cut it. You need quite a powerful lamp to project onto irregular walls and objects while competing with tv light output.
A short throw lens for coffee table use is not cheap, placing it behind you on a shelf is not practical for most.
It probably needs some wireless video transmission as well as having a cable running though the living room is not practical, yet you're still stuck with a power cable to the coffee table.
The XBox One doesn't have the power to render a second screen for the projector.

Anyway they said themselves it's not for consumers.
