Microsoft’s ‘RoomAlive’ transforms any room into a giant Xbox game

Nice to see they already found their next innovation to cancel after they stopped bothering with Illumiroom.

These aren't meant to be consumer products, it's like Google's 20% time, where developers and engineers can work on something that interests them that may or may not ever be an actual product. Aspects of them might be built into future consumer products, but these devices are more proofs of concept than consumer electronic devices.

Hey guys, I'm the intern that designed The Other Resident this summer with the great team at MSR. Thanks for posting the video!



Those are actually fake/projected TVs. The idea with that effect was to show different ways of networking with other rooms using RoomAlive.

At first, the TV is an actual live feed of another room using RoomAlive. Then, it cuts to a virtual representation of the room, and the monster has taken over. Finally, the array of screens becomes a window into the other room -- you can move around to get parallax effects and shine the light into the room.


You designed the game? That's awesome, man. Great job.
