The future of gaming?
Discussion
Kind of a TV and projector combined I think.

They state that none of the effects are added post release.

I think some next gen or other at some point will seamlessly link your gaming into a "live" experience...i.e. take F1 for example, I don't think it will be long before true video (as opposed to graphics) replace what you see in real time and adjusts to your reactions....
not sure it can be applied to FPS as I think it would be suitable for more simulation type based games...
if peter kay can do a stage show with holographic musicians, it can be done for gaming...

CNN did it too last year... Tupac rises from the grave.not sure it can be applied to FPS as I think it would be suitable for more simulation type based games...

However it cost £10 million.

I have used a projector for the last 15 years. All my games look like that or better!
PJ's are for nothing now and all you need for the BIG picture is a decent throw distance (distance from PJ to screen). Currently on a 120" screen (in a dedicated 14ft square room), the screen is almost the whole wall.
That link you posted only allows the quality on the original monitor. The rest is not comparable to a projector and if you are using a projector to project those extra bits then you may as well project the lot. The only downside I can see is the cost of the replacement lamps, which are around £300 a year (for my JVC) if you do the 1500 hours or so I do.
The future of gaming is big screen and it will be getting cheaper once LED lamps become mainstream (50,000 hours typical). If the technology is exciting now... just wait another 5 years

It's not about 'BIG' though is it? It's about dynamically projecting the screen in front of your face into your peripheral vision and around the room. Unless I'm missing something PJ's are for nothing now and all you need for the BIG picture is a decent throw distance (distance from PJ to screen).

Well after watching the clip I'm not convinced. When you sit (too near) infront of a huuuuuge picture, you become totally immersed in the game - it feels more real. I saw the 'bits flying round' as more of a distraction. Maybe it looks better in the flesh.. or maybe I'm just too old to ged it
