The Illumiroom is a device like the Kinect aka PJ Natal that has on-board motors, cameras, Geo Sensors, and a whole slew of other on-board features, its primary goal and purpose of course is to offer a larger field of view to the player and immerse that player in deep depth, rich detail, and offer other ways to interact in video games. No matter the room size.
I've been following the news pretty closely since I have a Twitter page and churn (tweet) out the News meta style from all over the net. So while I like this idea, so far it mostly looks like a pretty light-show. One can by now if you have seen everything would conclude that you would need to create a room just for this thing to work 100% and because of that may or may not be the most feasible to everyone. It's a device that sells to the core gamer that has the space for this kind of setup. If you have a designated room for gaming on a projector set like the Optima Game-Time Projector E-750 (for example), this will create a complete immersion experience that no other company so far has right now.
I'm waiting to hear more before I say; "yes I'll buy that!" so you may put me on "undecided" for now.
