Connected living room market
The concept of a connected living room is relatively recent one and involves the use of technological devices and 'gadgets' that provide a combination of information and entertainment depending on the choice of the user. With a connected living room, a user can share photos, music, and videos enabled by devices such as smart televisions, smart phones, set-top boxes, and personal computers.
Some of the devices that constitute a connected living room include; plasma TVs, smart TVs, DVD players, OLED TVs, video recorders, audio and gaming consoles, and so on.
