Firemint has announced a dual screen capability for Real Racing 2 HD which uses AirPlay mirroring in iOS5 to show a race car on your TV (via Apple TV) while status information is on your iPad. The iPad acts as the controller. This is a bit similar to what Nintendo is showing at E3 for their Wii U. However, what I don’t see is multiplayer. Also, the iPad is running the game. Apple TV is just acting as a display device. This isn’t as complete as where Nintendo is heading but I see no reason it can’t be. Apple just has to make the Apple TV a gaming platform. Come on Apple. The hooks are there.
Why I BLOG
The meshing of the business, consumer and engineering worlds fascinates me. Today we find ourselves in a time of unprecedented change. More than ever, these worlds are interacting in a complex dance. Join me as I look at this dance to see who will win, who will lose and how our lives will be altered.
I have over 30 years of experience in the semiconductor industry. I have been a part of a very successful startup, build engineering groups from scratch, and managed and developed engineering software. Along the way I have watched how seemingly disparate advancements were part of a broader trend and how some companies succeeded while others failed depending on whether they understood where they fit in the bigger picture.
