E3: Microsoft Announces SmartGlass Multiscreen Entertainment App

  • During yesterday’s keynote at the E3 gaming expo, Microsoft unveiled its new multiscreen entertainment platform called SmartGlass.
  • “The platform allows users to play video and other media from their mobile devices on their big-screen television, thanks to the Xbox 360,” reports CNET.
  • Users can send content from one device to another. “To add more value, tablets and smartphones will act as a companion, allowing users to see more information about the program being watched on their Xbox, creating a ‘multiscreen’ experience,” explains the post.
  • Launching this fall as a competitor to Apple’s AirPlay, SmartGlass will work on Windows, Windows Phone and the Xbox 360 and will support Android and iOS.
  • The post includes a 4-minute video from E3 in Los Angeles.
