BIGBEN INTERACTIVE LAUNCHES SAMSUNG SMART TV ACCESSORY/APPLICATION PACK
Lesquin, January 2nd, 2013 - Bigben Interactive, European leader in video game
accessories, announced an agreement with Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd, a market
leader and award-winning innovator in consumer electronics, semiconductors and
telecommunications, to develop a Samsung Smart TV fitness app that is compatible
with Bigben Interactive's flagship 'Cyberbike' accessory. The app, which will be
available on 2012 and 2013 6 Series Samsung Smart TVs and above, will join a
growing range of Samsung Smart TV applications that help users combine exercise
and entertainment on the world's most advanced next-generation TVs.
The free app, which is expected to be available for spring 2013, will allow
consumers to use Bigben Interactive's wirelessly connected exercise bicycle to
enjoy simulated bicycle races or rides - all from the comfort of their own
homes. For Bigben Interactive, this is a new step in their strategy of adapting
to the video game and multimedia markets.
"We are delighted to join forces with Samsung, who continue to pioneer new ways
for consumers to enjoy and interact with their Smart TVs," explained Alain Falc,
CEO of the group Bigben Interactive. "These applications, which are directly
integrated in the televisions and are designed to be either useful, or for
leisure, today constitute an emerging market and one we aim to invest in. This
is most certainly one of the future blueprints for the video game industry, even
more so for fitness and well-being related products."
Samsung is at the forefront of creating a robust ecosystem of content and
experiences through Samsung Smart TV. The company continues to add new apps that
are compatible with an ever-expanding range of accessories, with the ultimate
goal of offering consumers the most comprehensive and immersive Smart TV
entertainment experience available.
The 'Cyberbike' will be showcased at Samsung's booth during the upcoming
Consumer Electronics Show (2013 CES) from January 8th to 11th 2013 in Las Vegas.
Stand #12004/12527 Las Vegas Convention Center, Central Hall. For a presentation
