Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT) demoed its new Xbox SmartGlass system at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) in Los Angeles on Monday.
SmartGlass will connect devices running Windows 8, Windows 8 RT (for mobile devices), Windows Phone, iOS, and Android to a user's Xbox 360 console.
The Xbox SmartGlass app is available now with select games and Xbox Live content. Xbox Live Gold membership may be required for use with some content and features.
Xbox SmartGlass will replace its predecessor, Xbox Companion, Microsoft representative Serina Hall told TechNewsWorld. Xbox SmartGlass is "a new free Xbox app which enables your PC, tablet and mobile phone to connect to your Xbox in an intelligent way."
