A patent recently filed by Microsoft seeks to obtain dibs on a system that will project a gaming environment on all the surfaces surrounding the gamer.

The patent reveals what Microsoft sees as the future of gaming beyond the next year, a future "which is simply wild!" , of the Patently Apple website.

Patently Apple usually confines itself to reporting on intellectual property developments for Apple but, apparently, this Microsoft patent was too good to pass up.

"This could really be a hit with die-hard gamers and, with a little imagination, you quickly realize just how cool this could be," Purcher said of the Microsoft patent.
