Munich/Zurich. Today, AirConsole and the BMW Group
announced a partnership which will bring casual gaming into new BMW
vehicles, starting next year. AirConsole is a gaming platform which
perfectly fits with the BMW Curved Display and offers a large and
diverse catalogue of games. The games are run directly inside the
vehicle entertainment system. The AirConsole technology enables games
to be instantly delivered over-the-air and to control them using smartphones.
“With AirConsole we will leverage innovative technologies
combined with a broad variety of fun and multiplayer games. This will
make every waiting situation inside the vehicle, such as charging, an
enjoyable moment,” said Stephan Durach – Senior Vice President BMW
Group Connected Company Development.
Anthony Cliquot, CEO of N-Dream, the company behind
the AirConsole brand: “We are extremely proud to spearhead
gaming inside vehicles with BMW and are excited to create new games
for in-car entertainment. Our ingenious architecture coupled with the
ease of access of our platform will change the way people get
entertained in their vehicles.”
Smartphone + Screen = Console.
Setting up the
gaming experience with AirConsole is seamless. Players only need a
smartphone, which serves as the game controller, and the BMW Curved
Display. The connection between the smartphone and the vehicle is
established, for example, by scanning a QR code in the vehicle. The
players can then instantly enjoy entertaining gameplay.
The BMW Group chose AirConsole as a partner via the BMW Startup
Garage program.
