Remember IllumiRoom? You probably don’t, but it used a Kinect and a projector to expand a game’s display beyond the screen and onto your walls and furniture. Microsoft demonstrated it at CES back in 2013, but it ultimately didn’t work out to much more than concept. Apparently Razer was pretty fond of the idea, though, because the company’s new Project Ariana is very nearly the exact same thing.
Project Ariana is a projector with an “ultra-wide” fisheye lens. Two depth-sensing cameras map the 3D geometry of your play area, and then the projector displays whatever the game you’re playing tells it to.
