MUMBAI: Samsung Electronics has launched a worldwide Angry Birds Application for Samsung Smart TV.
Developed by Rovio Entertainment, a Finnish entertainment media company, Angry Birds is one of the top smartphone applications worldwide. The app claims to deliver fun and engaging gaming experience using simple hand gestures via Samsung‘s Motion Control technology, powered by Smart Interaction.
Since its launch in November 2009, Angry Birds has been downloaded over a billion times across multiple platforms and all versions of the game, the company said.
Samsung Electronics vice president- visual display business Kyungsik Kevin Lee said, "Samsung Smart TV will become the first TV to offer the world‘s most popular game and set a new standard in the industry by offering a game for smart TVs controlled by hand gestures. Samsung will continue to develop various content that bring family members together in front of the TV, allowing consumers to enjoy new experiences via Samsung Smart TVs."
The Angry Birds App for Samsung Smart TV is available on Samsung 2012 Smart Interaction enabled models by updating the latest firmware.
Samsung plans to offer video-on-demand Angry Birds animations developed by Rovio after the official app launch. The animations will be available first on Samsung Smart TVs.
