You can also watch the same TV show or movie
together with your family and friends, no matter which part of the world they
are in. Not only that but you'll be able to discuss the show, whether you are
on your personal tablet or smart phone, through a channel of your choice, be it
video chat, voice or text. The world's first 'pick up and throw back' video
feature allows your video and chat sessions to be screened wherever you go,
providing continuous social engagement in today's world.
This innovative multi-screen mobile social TV
experience is now being made into reality by researchers from the School of Computer Engineering, Nanyang
Technological University (NTU). It has already attracted the attention of both
local and international telecommunication giants who have expressed interest in
integrating this technology into their existing cable networks as a market
differentiator for cable television and mobile networks. With discussions
currently underway, the public here can expect to see videos and TV shows on
the go together with their friends on the 'cloud' in about two years' time.
