Microsoft Surface App Idea – T.V. control

My next app idea is in the public sector – in homes – and has to do with television. I figured that if I were to get a Surface table, the best spot for it would be in the living room, and I’m guessing that’s where most people would put it. Since most households have their main television in the living room, this opened up lots of ideas for communication between Surface and the T.V.

First off, a simple remote control probably isn’t a bad idea. It would never get lost, and you could make it bigger for bigger buttons.

Second, you could play any movies you have on your Surface computer right on your television. A good way to share a video with a big crowd.

And lastly, in partner with idea #2, you could rent movies right from the Surface computer and then play them on your T.V. It’s a blockbuster right in your living room!

There are many more possibilities, but what would be the fun if I did all the work for you? If you think of some more ideas tell me about them.
