Philips recently filed a patent application for an electronic gaming system which has a robust display that can be thrown around your living room. The display will be inside some kind of pillow which shows a moving image while being thrown around. One example Philips use is that a player throws the pillow in the air, and then a flying dragon is displayed, which another player then shoots with a gun peripheral. According to the patent a range of games will be available to download to PC. Philips says the technology will lead to a new generation of "whole body" games.

An example of a possible game involves two groups of players throwing the ball to each other without allowing a third group to catch it. Parts of the room could be programmed to be out of bounds and the ball could determine and show when these areas are breached. The ball would display encouragement, instructions or characters in the game. An interesting idea, but Philips might need to get some professional game designers on board to realise its full potential.
