Halo Waypoint & Xbox SmartGlass

Well on Major Nelson’s blog last night, he listed some games & apps that would support Xbox SmartGlass in the coming months.

Xbox SmartGlass’ tech is already on the new Dashboard update (which you’ll all be getting today), and SmartGlass releases on October 26th.

From this video which is from E3 2012, we see that all we can do with Xbox SmartGlass right now for Halo Waypoint is the following:

  • Unlock Waypoint data by ‘scanning’ objects, similar to The Library from Halo: Anniversary
  • Join games through Xbox SmartGlass

Even then, that was only a concept of what Halo Waypoint would do with the SmartGlass technology, will we be getting some information on the release of SmartGlass support for Halo Waypoint and what we will be able to do any time soon?

I wouldn’t be surprised if it has an updated version of ATLAS for H4.

only thing I’m finding about it timeline wise is January for android.

I have a WP7.5 and I didn’t find any special using smartglass in Waypoint XTS. Actually is similar to xbox Companion.

This is all great. But isn’t the only way to use Smart glass is with a Windows 8 device?

Don’t think my Iphone is going to cut it :frowning:

I could be completely wrong, but it sounded like they will have apps for multiple types of smartphones. Don’t quote me on that, though. :wink:

Yeah, they just released Smartglass for Android today so I would imagine they’d be making an iOS version at some point. :slight_smile:

It’s probably already made, they just need to wait for apple to approve it.

Anyone with an Android device been able to fiddle around with SmartGlass on Xbox in general?

I hear there’s been a launch delay for iOS and some Android users. I haven’t been able to find it in the iTunes Store or Play Store. Anyone know what’s going on?

There is it on the Android Store, there hasn’t been an announcement for iOS yet other than “Coming Soon.”

Wow, very odd that it’s on Android before iOS.

They have to wait for apple to approve it, Android market just lets you upload it and that’s it.

I don’t have any games that it works with right now, but it does good for a media remote when you don’t want to use your controller.

Just tried it on Waypoint, looks like it hasn’t been update for it yet.

Does that mean that you can post viruses into the store?

Also, you’d think they’d have asked Apple to put it on the App Store on the 26/10, since the two companies have good relations.

Yep. Android’s and open source. That’s why you never download sketchy apps.
