IllumiRoom

At CHI 2013, Microsoft presented more details of the system, including a paper written with a researcher at the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign.

The Kinect captures the color and geometry of the room environment and the projector renders images onto the depth map acquired by the sensor.

These modes require the system to have access to the game's rendering process:[3] Without access to the game's rendering, several other projection modes are available:[3] Although widely expected to be used in an Xbox application, the researchers have stated that the technology is, for now, only a research project and not ready for commercial use.

[5] RoomAlive, a related Microsoft Research project, also uses a depth camera and video projector in a projector-camera, or "procam" setup.

Unlike IllumiRoom, which implements focus-plus-context visual presentation centered on a television screen, RoomAlive focuses on spatial augmented reality applications.
