While discussing new Outlook email service, Microsoft general manager Brian Hall namedrops "New Xbox" but does not share more. After significant speculation spread over the span of years, Microsoft has finally spoken on-record about its next Xbox. During an interview with The Verge focused on Microsoft's new Outlook email service (embedded below), general manager Brian Hall name-dropped a "new Xbox." “We’ve had Hotmail and operated Hotmail for about 16 years, we obviously have Exchange, and Outlook, that people use at work. We just decided it was time to do something new and bring the best from each of those and put them together and release it right in time for the new wave of products that we could have coming out with Windows 8, with the new version of Office with the new Windows phone and the new Xbox,” Hall said.

The IllumiRoom is a image protective system that allows the New Xbox to project a 'real image' in the surrounding environment of where the Television connected to the console is. [/YouTube] The IllumiRoom amplifies the traditional gaming experience with expanding the view of one's gaming. The system can make even the most generic of rooms to a fantastic world of art as a cartoonish land. The illusions can distort reality, creating an entirely new environment in which to play in, as well as expand the view of the game into the surrounding objects. The system is a secondary device to the XBox and would remain on a space on a family's coffee table allowing a wide view of the room. With the prototype currently in use, the Kinect is used alongside it to analyse the room for the system to run. The main focus with the IllumiRoom is to expand the field of view. From the games reality into our physical reality that we live in. With many ways of doing soon such as highlighting object's edges and allowing only certain elements such as rays of in-game light to be projected. Other elements can be projected for an easier way to play for the average gamer. Allowing for a simple style to play a game, without having the complicated issues usually met with. Such other amazing features such as 'stars' appearing on your walls or snowflakes falling down onto the ground are some of the virtual images able to be given by the projector, even with some features 'acting' with the physical objects in the room. Shadowing is another addition to the system, allowing it to project even the smallest shades on the room, giving a depth to the TV's surroundings. The system does not stop at gaming however, the IllumiRoom including all forms of video media to its books, from HD Movies to a standard TV show. The system allows for many combinations of features to be used at once, so it doesn't limit the user to only one or two options at a time. However there are minor limitations to the system. Because its a light a based system. Artificial light and more importantly, naturally light can affect the ability to view the projections clearly. But for the general use of one system, it works fine. Finishing, the IllumiRoom is an amazing piece of technology, allowing one to expand from their Television screen to covering their walls in an amazing array of colour and art. The target audience is unlimited, and is a huge attention to all interested in literally, expanding their views. More information is expected at the MicroSoft showcase for the new Xbox console, and possibly, some more this week. Credit to IGN for this extended insight.
