Phil and Hrvoje’ at Microsoft Research

To researchers at Microsoft, the combination of a Kinect unit, an off-the-shelf projector, and a TV screen offer exciting new possibilities for everyday living room gaming and cinema experiences. We were contracted by Communications of the ACM, a computer research publication, to dig a little deeper and create a highlights video to show this project and the possibilities that it offers.

Interviews were shot with Brett Jones at the EnterpriseWorks Incubator at the U of I, and also with Hrvoje’ Benko at Microsoft Research in Redmond, WA.

The full research article, IllumiRoom: Immersive Experiences Beyond the TV Screen, is available from Communications of the ACM here.
