The projector should be on your head, so the virtual areas will show up where ever you look.

why not?

People have been mapping fps to full rooms for virtual game play for ages - at least 15-20 years. They did it with doom :)

that's true :P but it'd be a little shakey and you'd have to re-do the way you look around so instead of moving the game world it stays in one place (north south east west) and you look around the room and stuff, it could work but nobody would bother without the best comp in the world xD (crysis is very demanding at 60 degrees field of view, let alone 360 degrees at once xD)

This is like Jonny hung lee's interactive whiteboard/wiimote stuff but more epic. and useful.

OMGWTF! please let this be brought out by anyone other than microsoft.. they already stole multitouch displays. I would gladly win the lottery just to hand over most of it for this.

The killer for secret services, special forces and magicians. Useless otherwise. That is because you trade in the overview for discovery.

The localisation in space can be recycled, though, and put to ordinary use. With eye- or head-tracking walls, or portions thereof, can be made to serve as virtual desktops revealing themselves only when being looked at.
