The Assassin of 3D Technology!
The idea has materialised. It's known as IllumiRoom and it was shown in video at CES.
A small Microsoft Research team of four are credited with creating it, and it is still only a proof-of-concept design. IllumiRoom pairs Kinect for Windows with a projector to achieve its results.
"Our system uses the appearance and the geometry of the room (captured by Kinect) to adapt the projected visuals in real-time without any need to custom pre-process the graphics," the MS Research team explained.
The videos (they're both very similar) apparently captured IllumiRoom running live rather than added it via special effects in post-production. The videos show the cityscapes of shooters sprawl beyond the television and they show bullets and sparks and fires spill out into the room. The part I liked was the ambient snow effect in the room - imagine what exploring the wilds of Skyrim could be like!
More detailed details are apparently coming at the CHI 2013 event held in Paris on 27th April.
