Microsoft has teased more information on its IllumiRoom may be coming this week, causing speculation to grow that the device has been incorporated in the design of the next-generation Xbox.
The company has promised more information will be coming at a CHI 2013 event that begins this week, but a document released ahead of time makes reference to the device working with "a next-generation gaming console".
If you're not 100% sure what Microsoft's glorified projector entails, watch the below video to get yourself up to speed.
The brief explains, "Our vision for a fully developed IllumiRoom system includes an ultra-wide field of view device sitting on the user's coffee table, projecting over a large area surrounding the television.
"The device would be connected wirelessly to a next-generation gaming console as a secondary display."
With the next Xbox reveal due to take place on May 21, we should find out then just what role the IllumiRoom has to play with Microsoft's new console, assuming we don't hear anything this week, of course.
What do you reckon? Does the prospect of the IllumiRoom being integrated into the next Xbox excite you, or do you have qualms about anything that relies on Kinect? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.
Thanks, The Verge.
