BERLIN -- At IFA last year, Philips showed off a prototype for a TV with built-in pico projectors that could extend the image beyond the screen and onto your walls. That TV is real and it's coming in October.
Called the AmbiLux, the 65-inch Ultra HD TV uses nine pico projectors positioned on the backside to illuminate the walls.
The lights won't fill up an entire wall, but will create the illusion of extending its image for a more immersive experience.
If the AmbiLux TV sounds familiar, you're not alone. The idea of augmenting the TV with projected images on the wall was a concept Microsoft was considering when designing the Xbox One. It was called the Illumiroom.
