Xbox SmartGlass

SmartGlass is what we have been waiting for here in the Consumers World Of Gaming. Bringing all your devices together; Ipad, Iphone, Xbox, Movies, Music, Games, Social, and even android; everything all finally banded together. Thank you Microsoft for making our dreams a realization. If your watching a movie on a flight and you pause to land and head home. When you get home you can transfer the movie to your TV via the Xbox SmartGlass Technology and pick up right were you left off. Then your tablet becomes a mecca of extras. Cast and Crew photos and information, even an interactive map that shows what characters who aren't on screen are doing! It's immersive entertainment bundled all together to make a massive A.I.-like experience that caters to what your doing. Mark Whitten showed up a sports game, where he could use his phone or Ipad to make plays, save player handbooks, recent plays, timeouts, challenges, and pausing action.  Halo 4 is what excited me, seeing as I'm obsessed with it, you can transfer Waypoint data from the game to your phone without ever leaving the game. Check achievements, challenges, and leaderboards. You can even check ship identities, technical schematics, and allow people to join your game...from your phone or tablet device!


With the magic of Kinect and SmartGlass you now have the web with Internet Explorer. Xbox web hub shows you recents, favorites, features, friends, all with Kinect voice recognition software. Amazing HD video on the browser. Fast. Not lagging. Deliver fast fluid intuitive experience on the net.If this pans out like it seems like it has...I will never leave my house but if I should have too...I can take it all with me.
