After Enterprise, it was your Home…. and Now its your Bedroom…..

So what could be your next Bedroom Experience Like…Strictly from Devices Perspective

After the emergence of integrated devices; the first focus for enterprise was indeed…The Enterprise….. and then the space got cluttered with many offerings..Hence, the enterprise offering moved into your house while offering integrated experience for your home and personal device(s). With Cloud joining the party, the ability for having your content availability across multiple devices made seamless, ease for you and ease on your pocket at the same time.

By the virtue of me using SugarSync for some time, hence have incorporated them into this illustration. Of course, if you are following me on twitter, I went all out about my exploration journey with my new tech-toy – Roku, last week. And of course, have been using Apple TV from sometime and loves the experience of mirroring the iPad to the TV and sharing Audio/ Video content across devices, especially my content from iPad to TV. Then the entire experience and/or having the ability to view my Netflix movie on my phone (while having my Burger, roadside), and then start at the same point on my TV is something got me excited just like a young kid.

So now, if I Add up all the various components together…… the Result could or would be a wonderful “Bedroom/Personal integrated Device Experience”, while all device/services complimenting each other. For eg. I am was experimenting over the weekend to connect my PC and to Roku using Ro-Connect,(Need more  work on Ro-Connect end for a non-techy like me) to view/listen my content (Audio/Video) from my PC to Roku player. Further was trying to understand the usage of the additional memory Slot at Roku Player….

This exploration gave me a sense of integrating all these devices into one experience backed by seamless integration of your content over cloud – Sugarsync in this case as an example. So what it leads to is this…

Roku by the virtue of being an open and experimental platform backed by many developers/content owner is at the sweat spot of having creating an ability to view all your content across multiple devices onto your TV. So, now you can view from your pictures, to listening to your audio, or watching your store videos from the cloud directly onto your TV console.

It also provides an another element of having an ability to share your content through push notification and in peer-to-peer kind of environment mode. Use Case – I have clicked this wonderful video of my recent trip using my mobile device and by the virtue of it being connected to the cloud, I send all my content into the cloud and can share it with my friends and other across their multiple devices, while I can share the same with my mother sitting many miles away on her TV. The same goes for music, picture and /or any other shareable content that you can imagine. Much like how you can view your/friends Facebook pictures on Roku while using the Facebook app. What I am suggesting here is the amplification of same kind.

Further SugarSync could potentially act as a DVR for your content view on Roku and thus making the recorded content available again at your multiple devices.

It gives me a sense that there is something from all in this equation especially for Roku and SugarSync (in this example) to provide “personal” content sharing that was never imagined on TV. For Roku – An ability to pull content from the cloud, push recorded content to the cloud for later viewing/listening; For SugarSync -Adding another unique element in already competitive cloud market….

So its Not now about ability to “mirror” your iPad or Mac to TV using Apple TV and on being the same network. This is about having ability for user to have content availability across devices, Not necessarily on the same network and on your Bedroom TV. Not to discount that depending upon the intelligence requirement(s) the above picture could add the component of your aircon/heating by integrating Nest with the Cloud and having an ability to record/monitor/adjust every aspect of your house cooling/heating through the cloud….

Thus making it a “True Bedroom Integrated Devices Experience”.

As usual, feedbacks are welcome.

P.S. - I am not a techie to evaluate the technological possibility of this but with limited knowledge can assume that this is certainly possible. Equally, I am sure all the companies mentioned in the article on similar line…this is just an endorsement to that idea from a consumer.

Have A Good Week!!!
