New features for the Chromecast key on iOS

We learned the
last week during the annual Google I/O conference that he had already
sold17 million Chromecasts, this HDMI key, which allows
to send video (and more) to a TV (see
our test here). Better yet, the famous little icon which allows you to pass
from the smartphone screen to that of the TV has already been used more than 1.5
billion times.

Building on this success, Google announced that it would continue the adventure, and we
includes, to go even further thanks to several new features on iOS and
Android, which announce enriched uses:

Currently, most applications compatible with the
Chromecast simply allows you toproject on the TV screen this
that there is on that of the smartphone, iPhone or Android. Thanks to the
new tools available, developers will have an easier task to
offer, not a simple mirror, but a real 'second screen' experience
independent making the iPhone or Android smartphone a game controller
For example.

Still in the field of gaming, Google has also imagined new
tools to make it easier to create multiplayer games. They
imagine like thistransform the ChromeCast into a board game or
quiz.

The latest innovation this time concerns videos and an auto function
play, which allow videos to be launched without user action.

Google clearly has no intention of abandoning its little key which,
let's remember
only costs €35, great competition for the Apple TV.

Will the answer come from Apple during the developer conference?
next week? We'll find out by following the announcements together on Monday
next from 7 p.m. on
