Jaw-dropping price tag scuppers Microsoft's IllumiRoom Xbox projector project

Microsoft has announced that its augmented reality projection IllumiRoom may not hit the stores in its current form because it is too expensive. When it comes to AusGamers Purnell, the first one for the Xbox product planning, Albert said that while technology is great to use , you set the price of most of the players in the back of a wallet . "I wouldn't expect you'll see that," said Penello referring to IllumiRoom, explaining: "It's very, very cool tech but it's, like, for a consumer, it requires projectors and things." It is these "Projector and activities", driving the price up to thousands, Penollo notes, which means that they will get the store and it is almost impossible."[IllumiRoom] is really super-neat if you're in the lab and you've got Microsoft money and you could totally set up this awesome lab, but... we looked at it, but for an average customer it's, like, thousands of dollars [for the set up]." This will serve as a disappointment to those who are looking forward to Microsoft IllumiRoom living in the past. On the walls of the room and use screenshots Kinect controls you have seen and technology-based projects. There are rumors that it will eventually one of the Xbox, but now a few years this technology may be considered outside the convention center.

Leap Motion Control, 100 Times Better than Kinect

Motion control really doesn’t get better than this. Leap Motion have come up with Leap 3D, a super accurate motion control system. It can track motion at around 0.01mm of accuracy which is 100 times better than Microsoft XBOX Kinect.

From the video and the demo they show, this could really transform the way we use our computers. Instead of using a mouse we could use gestures like pinch to zoom on a picture or scrolling up and down on a web page.

It is a very small device compared to the Kinect and hooks up to your computer via USB. It has special sensors and cameras which track the movement made by you to a high degree of accuracy.

The device is set to launch early next year for $69.99 which around £45 in the UK, which is half the price of Kinect right now. Unfortunately though, pre-orders are limited to the US only.

Looks like this may be a game changer in how we use our computers and laptops

Next-gen gaming consoles Xbox One vs PS4

It is hard to say which one is better. Let’s talk about the design idea on both consoles. Both the Xbox one and the Playstation 4 will comes with AMD radeon GPUs, 8-core AMD processors and both will have 8GB of memory. Both systems will have HDMI and USB3.0 connectors. “Xbox One” as the name descried, in my opinions. The Xbox One is not only a console that can only play games. Xbox One, it is next-generation console that also aims to be the central focus of your home as a means to watch TV shows, movies, browse the web, listen to the music, live sports and much more. The main design idea for PS4 it is that The PS4 "was designed to be an impact product in an entertainment center,” Sony's v.p. of PlayStation hardware marketing John Koller told Kotaku last week, when asked to describe the intent behind the look of the new console. “We wanted the design to be something sleek, something people feel proud about including."

Here is the data of both consoles

So, what is your choice? Xbox One or PS4?

The Virtuix Omni™ is the first virtual reality interface for moving freely and naturally in your favourite game. The Virtuix Omni™ takes virtual reality to the next level— allowing anyone to stand up and traverse virtual worlds with the natural use of their own feet. Moving naturally in virtual reality creates an unprecedented sense of immersion that cannot be experienced sitting down.

Applications of natural movement in virtual reality stretch far beyond gaming: training and simulation, fitness, virtual tourism, virtual tradeshows and events, meet-ups and multi-person adventures, virtual workplaces, museums, VR architecture, VR concerts… The possibilities are limitless.

One way to look at it is, it’s really cool and healthy as you won’t sitting down in front of screen and pressing keys and buttons. You will move freely and you will not only enjoy virtual reality experience but also do exercise in real time. This is a good motivation for doing exercise as well.
