Xbox SmartGlass will deliver new ways to enjoy entertainment in the home and on the go.

LOS ANGELES — June 4, 2012 — What if your tablet or phone knew what you were watching on TV and presented bonus features without you having to lift a finger? What if you could use your tablet to draw up a play in EA SPORTS’ “Madden NFL” and then perform it to perfection on your TV? What if you could control your favorite websites on the TV with a simple swipe, pinch or zoom on your tablet’s touchscreen?
To kick-start the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3), Microsoft Corp. today unveiled a bold new vision for enjoying entertainment at home and on the go with Xbox SmartGlass. Launching this year, Xbox SmartGlass is an application for Windows 8, Windows Phone, and other portable devices that connects phones, PCs and tablets with your Xbox 360 console to make your entertainment smarter, more interactive and more fun.1 The intelligence of Xbox SmartGlass makes your entertainment more engaging, Web surfing more effortless, and playing games more immersive by delivering companion content and control to enhance your TV experience.


“Xbox is on a mission to make the entertainment that you love even more amazing,” said Don Mattrick, president of the Interactive Entertainment Business at Microsoft. “With Xbox SmartGlass, we are lighting up entertainment across your phone, tablet, PC and TV in a completely new way. If you love to play games, watch TV and movies, surf the Web, or listen to music, there has never been a better time to be on Xbox.”
Two years after the launch of Kinect for Xbox 360, Microsoft unveiled the next step in its journey to make Xbox synonymous with entertainment by unveiling Xbox SmartGlass, Internet Explorer for Xbox, and new TV, movie and music offerings.


The Web Transformed for TV

Microsoft will launch Internet Explorer for Xbox this fall in all countries where Xbox and Xbox LIVE are available. Through the power of Xbox, the magic of Kinect and the intelligence of Xbox SmartGlass, you will be able to surf the Internet using your voice on your Xbox 360 and navigate using your mobile devices for an incredibly easy Web browsing experience on the television.2 Whether it is a new website you want to check out on the big screen, an HD video you want to share in your living room, or your favorite website you check daily and want to view in the 10-foot experience, you will have the power of the Web now on your TV.

Am incercat SmartGlass pe Windows 8, e pretty cool. E usor de "instalat", descarci aplicatia de pe Store, rulezi si se sincronizeaza cu consola (evident trebuie sa fi signed in pe Xbox Live). Apare un mesaj "[gamertag] connected with Xbox SmartGlass". In aplicatie sunt urmatoarele tab-uri: Bing, Now playing, Recent, Music, Videos si Games.

Cand selectezi o aplicatie sau joc apare un alt meniu cu detalii despre, "Play on Xbox 360" (deschide jocul daca e DVD-ul introdus sau daca e descarcat jocul arcade/aplicatia), "Play trailer", ce prieteni au jucat recent, daca ai setat Beacon, achievements si marketplace items. Side note: pentru a cumpara ceva de pe Marketplace sau a vedea daca sunt online prietenii tai trebuie folosita aplicatia Games (a fost redenumita de doua ori din Xbox Games si Xbox Companion).

In "Now playing" afiseaza automat ce joci/ce aplicatie folosesti. Nefiind jocuri cu SmartGlass features am folosit functia de Remote pe Dashboard si Internet Explorer. Ca optiuni ai de ales intre Xbox Guide, Browser, Controller si Keyboard. Apesi pe sageata in dreapta, se duce in dreapta in Dashboard, apesi A pentru a selecta, B pentru back etc.. Executa repede comenzile, nu este delay. Daca scrii un mesaj se activeaza Keyboard si poti sa scrii mai usor si mai rapid decat folosind controllerul. In browser la fel, pentru linkuri. Daca apesi pe "Play here" in Internet Explorer iti va deschide pe browserul calculatorului site-ul.

Cam atat deocamdata, astept cu mare interes sa fie implementat si sa si ai ce face cu el gameplay-wise in ceva jocuri serioase.

Am atasat si niste print-screen-uri. Game on !

suportul pt iphone e destul de generos (poti face destul de multe, desi am incercat sa-l folosesc ca si controller in jocuri si n-a mers...)

oricum, xbox + tv normal + internet explorer + smartphone - cscade considerabil interesul pentru smart TV-uri

Merge si pe Iphone? Aveam impresia ca iti trebuie smartphone cu windows pe el.

[paul]

E si pe iOS: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/xbox...480914036?mt=8 .

[Pisboy]

Il am si eu pe Ipad. E super aplicatia.

[rareshica]

l-am luat pe iphone.foarte buna aplicatia!

[Alexandru]

Pe AppStore-ul romanesc nu gasesti aplicatia. (eu am luat-o de pe US)

[Pisboy]

Da asa e ,doar pe appstore US o gasiti.

[Trusk]

Ce au avut in cap de l-au facut available doar pentru US, n-am nicio idee.

Eu am un Windows Phone (LG Optimus 7) si LiveID-ul meu are setat UK ca Location. Am access la Smart Glass si merge brici, deci cel putin pe WP nu e US only.

Scuze, am uitat sa precizez ca pe iOS.

Btw, are cineva vreo idee de ce nu ma pot conecta la xbox cu ea? Imi tot zice can't reach service.

Nu e US-only pe iOS.
Ai setat pe On la Setings - System - Console Settings - Remote devices - Xbox SmartGlass Apps ?

[Trusk]

Nu e, dar daca vrei sa o vezi in itunes te trimite in US Store.

Si da, e pornita de acolo. Nu reusesc nici de pe iPad nici de pe iPhone sa ma loghez.

[AlanPoe]

@Trusk: contul de Xbox Live este pe UK sau US? Care este locatia App Store setata la iPad?

Eu inca n-am incercat aplicatia, n-am avut vreme sa-mi refac un cont US s-o pot lua pentru iPad, ma gandesc insa c-ar trebui sa elimini toate problemele probabile.

[Trusk]

Pe Romania amandoua. Dar nu cred ca asta e problema. Am vazut ca o au altii si din alte tari, inclusiv US.

[Pisboy]

Si eu o am luată de pe US si �mi merge bine.
