I still remember Ambilight fondly but this takes it to a whole new level - the huge hardware requirements are going to limit this to research labs, theme parks and fairly wealthy people though.

Looks amazing but I'm guessing a commercial version is still far off and I highly doubt the average consumer would be able to afford this. It's unfortunate because even without the interactive elements, being able to create a different environment for your rooms seems appealing.

The XBox can't do full HD at 60 FPS on a single screen, so if it had to run projectors too, it'd really look bad. Not even a PC twice the price of an XBone can run every game at really high settings on multiple screens, so it'll be a while before a console is released that can do this.
