Astazi compania Microsoft a prezentat la conferinta E3 un nou sistem de audio/video streaming pentru tablete si smartphone-uri. Sistemul se numeste SmartGlass, el functioneaza cu ajutorul unei console XBOX 360 si permite posesorilor de terminale mobile sa vizioneze continut multimedia pe un TV. Practic totul functioneaza precum in cazul AirPlay-ului si al Apple TV-ului, adica utilizatorii vor putea face audio/video streaming pe ecranul unui televizor a continutului multimedia de pe un iDevice, insa asta numai cu ajutorul unei aplicatii speciale.
Microsoft’s Xbox SmartGlass can also be used much like Apple’s AirPlay feature built into iOS, which allows users to stream content from their iPhone or iPad to an Apple TV set-top box. With SmartGlass, users will be able to stream movies from an iPhone or iPad to their Xbox 360, presumably using a Microsoft-built iOS application. The same functionality will also be available on Android, Windows Phone and Windows 8.
Acest sistem ar “elibera” posesorii de iDevice-uri de necesitatea de a cumpara un Apple TV pentru asemenea functii, insa desigur ca Microsoft nu va oferi chiar tot ceea va ofera un Apple TV. SmartGlass va fi disponibila pentru iDevice-uri undeva in cursul acestui an, de indata ce tehnologia va putea fi implementata in aplicatii care vor fi disponibile si pentru alte platforme mobile.
SmartGlass brings AirPlay-style wireless technology to Xbox and Windows 8 by letting you send video from your tablet or phone to your TV. It then turns that second screen into an information window giving you data of the content you’re watching. Plus, it updates the info on your mobile device as the content on the TV changes. The app also enables peripheral controls for games you’re playing — so you can scroll through different plays on your tablet while playing Madden on your big screen, for example.
