Sony's new viral videos use technology normally reserved for hi-tech flight simulators used to train fighter pilots to create 'living worlds', like a television on every wall of a room.
It hints at a truly astonishing future of entertainment - and the videos boast they were achieved without any post-production or digital alteration, just using projectors aimed at walls, and Sony's Eyetoy camera for PS3. That, and a few actors and the odd prop.
The one problem, of course, is that Sony's Eyetoy controller is distinctly limited next to Microsoft's Kinect - so it would all definitely work better on Xbox 360.
Projectors targeted at the walls, sofa and floor make 'real' objects seem to appear around the room. The technology is extremely impressive - but you'd need a huge amount of very expensive hardware to enjoy it yourself
