Xbox SmartGlass Lets You Control Your Xbox With Your iPhone


Microsoft demonstrated its Xbox SmartGlass tech today at E3, linking consumers’ smartphones and tablets to their Xbox games and media. Not only does SmartGlass manage video playback across devices and add extra content to video, but it also turns your current touch device into a remote control for your console and a controller for some new games.

Nintendo, too, is banking on the idea of touch tech for game control with its Wii U controller, but Microsoft is banking on connecting to devices that a significant number of consumers already own and carry with them everywhere.

Microsoft promises that it works across nearly all devices: iOS phones and tablets, Android phones and tablets, Windows phones and Windows 8.
