#2Now replace your entire wall with an OLED 8K display.
One of the things I've been playing around with have been the Phillip's "Hue" lights (see the Apple store) which you can control via the Zigbee light protocol. Taking the colors from the screen and doing accent lighting of similar shades. Its kind of amazing how that makes your screen seem bigger.

That would be the only thing from sci-fi movies that could come true.
I guess silver jumpsuits are possible too but isn't that an unspoken rule that such a thing is a big no?

#4Am I wrong in thinking this is absolutely awesome? I've watched the video several times now, and all I can think is that I want it, now.
It's an incredibly 'simple' concept, and yet the perfect next step in immersive display.

No, I gave up gaming a few years ago and now all I can think about is how awesome it would be play a game with something like that.

#6By the way: Two of the games shown are Red Eclipse and Supertuxkart, both open source and - of course - run on linux. While SuperTuxKart is not that exciting, Red Eclipse is quite fun.

I pretty much gave up games too. Especially console games. Especially shooters. I'd still like to try this out with some more chill indie/puzzle games though (i.e. English Country Tune)

Add in a Kinect. Now have fun.

Do you mean accent lighting around the room, or behind the TV in the vein of Philips's Ambilight[1]?

Meh. I bet they did that just so they could whip up the proof of concept without having to bother a large gaming studio.
Both probably run on Windows, which is (I bet) what the prototype is running.
