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.

But Kinect V2 is not designed for that. It'd work of course but you'd need cable extenders, mounts, etc. Illumniroom with cheap Kinect V1 tech would make more sense in my opinion. Adding it to the projector wouldn't be too expensive.

 

I think location is a bigger issue than price. Lots of people don't have coffee tables and most wouldn't want a device stuck there. People also aren't going to want a permanent overhead mount. One solution would be sticking it on the player's controller. That'd also be a good way to hide the price. $60 standard controllers and then $150 illumiroom controllers. They could just put it where the Kinect trackers are.

You want to stick a 3000 lumen projector into a controller??? And it's more likely they used a 5000 for 6000 lumen projector for the demo.
