Control your Xbox with your Android device
Xbox 360 SmartGlass is an Android app developed by Microsoft Corporation that allows users to control their Xbox console using their phone or tablet. With this app, users can navigate the Xbox interface more easily, thanks to a full-screen trackpad that allows for swiping and button controls in the corners. One of the standout features of Xbox 360 SmartGlass is its ability to use the phone or tablet's keyboard for text input, making it much more convenient than using the gamepad.
In addition to remote control functionality, Xbox 360 SmartGlass also provides supplemental information about the media being played on the Xbox. Users can access cast information, synopses, photos, and more for movies and other content. However, it's worth noting that this feature works only with first-party software from Microsoft, and not with third-party apps like Netflix or Last.fm.
Overall, Xbox 360 SmartGlass is a useful tool for enhancing the Xbox experience with an Android device. While there may be some lag when controlling the Xbox, and not all apps are compatible, it serves as a convenient remote and provides additional information for media playback.
