The times of the Nintendo Wii are really past because today you can play interactively with friends in front of the TV simply using your smartphone (Android or iPhone) as a controller.In fact, if we have a Google Chromecast device (currently on sale there is the Chromecast 2), it is possible to use it as if it were a video game console by projecting the game from the PC or mobile phone on the TV screen and also playing in several people together, each with his smartphone in hand.
This is possible thanks to the wifi bridge that is created with the Chromecast that works as a transmitter of anything you see on your computer or smartphone.
