With over 1 billion downloads across all available platforms, people
do not seem to get tired of playing Angry Birds on any device. Now,
Samsung wants you to try the iconic touch-based game to a whole new
level.
The South Korean company now offers Angry Birds on its Smart TV,
which can be played by mere gestures. Yes, no need to hold a motion
control wand or touch the screen itself.
You can say that Samsung’s Smart TVs are channeling Xbox Kinect, but
playing games with the Smart TV is an enhancement of the device’s
gesture command capability. You can pull your hand just like how you
would prepare the game’s slingshot, for instance. You can also utilize
gestures to activate the birds’ powers.
This is not the first time that Angry Birds has been played on the
big screen. Roku’s second line of media streamers also offer
motion-controlled Angry Birds, although you need the remote as the
controller. Meanwhile, the trial version of the app comes pre-installed
into the Samsung Smart TV, which starts at around $3,000. You need to
shell out another dollar for the full version of Angry Birds.
