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.

Give it a few years. Right now we can stick low quality dim projectors on anything we want, so is it that crazy to think in 2017 we'll be able to stick low quality less dim projectors on a controller? To me the biggest problem is battery life, but if you're ok stringing a cord to the coffee table you'd be ok stringing one to your lap.

 

How about this. Do you have a better idea lol? I know Microsoft has said it's just research right now, but if you were FORCED to bring it to market in 3 years, how would you do it? Putting the projector and Kinect V1 in the controller is the best I've got.
