Microsoft is set to demo Smart Glass, an app that is akin to
AirPlay for the Xbox 360, at E3next week. This Xbox companion app is said to be
able to play videos from different sources on tablets and phones as well as
push that content from your device to an Xbox 360.
What’s more, the app is apparently going to be made available for Windows, Windows Phone, iOS, and Android. This multiplatform strategy is smart for Microsoft since so many people have Xboxes regardless of which side they take in the mobile OS wars.

A leak of a confidential presentation for Smart Glass noted
the following:
• Will
allow users to control their Xbox 360 remotely. Will be available cross
platform on multiple operating systems including Windows, Windows Phone,
Android and iOS.
• Applications
will be accessible through the tablet. Such as Youtube/Netflix/Vemo ect.
• Live
streaming ability through the tablet to the TV, desktop, lap top and other
devices.
• A demo at
E3 will be shown, but no live video will be featured
As the owner of two Xbox 360′s, this is certainly something I am going to keep an eye on. More
details should emerge at E3.
