The Environmental display patent

In the recently filed patent Microsoft is working on a kind of implementation of the holodeck, which many of you probably already know from the Start Trek universe. Of course there will be due to the technology not a 1:1 conversion, as portrayed in the movies and series. The theoretical function of the new patent will allow a 3D representation that would be projected onto the four walls of a room. Thus, one would obtain a complete theoretical view of his game all around the world. The controller would be held with the already in use Kinect system. As this conversion is done immediately, however, is not known. Microsoft itself gives the patent only as an extension of the field of vision, which is to say the TV is still used as the main actor.

The hardware of the Xbox 720
In the area of ​​hardware rumors are circulating around numerous on the net. The XBox 720 is expected to be equipped with a Blu-ray drive, possibly even a model to play the 3D Blu-ray's. Thus is also ready for 3D content on the console to be possible, as well as the playback of 3D games.

In the area of ​​the processor among other things could be a new 6-core CPU play out, in combination with 2GB of DDR3 RAM. A possible graphics card graphics chipset from AMD is talking. Here, however, no exact series was called.

Storage media and online games, XBox 720
In the area of ​​storage media we have no precise data are available. However, we believe that the Xbox 720 console will be just like the Playstation 4 equipped at least with a SSD hard drive, which will bring with him from 120GB disk space. The SSD would speed up loading processes and designs of applications extremely.

Another point also online games are in conversation, where we mean here not MMORPGs, but the XBox 720 could rely on an Internet-based system for playing games on it back. The games would be streamed in this case mostly. Unlikely that all is not, however, the implementation is quite difficult because the owners would need a good internet connection. This aspect could affect, among other things, sales of the Xbox 720th

The release date for the Xbox 720
According to the latest rumors on the Internet can be the release date of the second generation already fixed date for the coming 24 months. It is still not known the exact date, but according to most sources on the Internet is probably 2013 as the release date is very likely. A release in the coming year is even mentioned several times, but is very unlikely since the current XBox yet to benefit from the Kinect system and sales.
