Reminds me of the early Kinect marketing videos before it was released. Skateboards being scanned in etc.
Great ideas, but I'll believe it when it ships.

#12Now 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.
Do you mean accent lighting around the room, or behind the TV in the vein of Philips's Ambilight[1]? 1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ambilight
Adafruit makes a DIY version of something very similar.

#15By 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.
Nice find!
Red Eclipse is btw a Cube2 (aka Sauerbraten) mod. In other news: Cube2 itself got recently a new update: http://sauerbraten.org/docs/history.html#_2013_01_04_collect...

#16Am 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.
It's really cool. It might also have the potential to create 180-270-degrees peripheral vision judging by the video, which is something that would fundamentally change first-person games.

#20The gaming potential of this is obviously awesome; however, I think this could revolutionize the home good ecommerce world. A user could build an entire room with a couple of clicks.
