Sky UK is introducing an interactive camera featuring auto-tracking and motion control tech that allows users to watch content together, use it for personal training and gaming apps, and make video calls.
Exclusive to Sky Glass, Sky Live can be used without the need for a remote, headset or controller.
The magnetic base sits securely on top of a viewer’s Sky Glass, with cables to connect to the TV. It includes a dedicated button which lets users switch the camera and microphone on and off.
Sky Live has a 12MP HDR-capable smart camera with 106° wide field of view (WFOV).
Fraser Stirling, global chief product officer, Sky, said: “We surprised everyone when we launched our streaming TV, Sky Glass, in 2021. Now we’re doing it again. Sky Live makes your TV much more than just a TV, by introducing new entertainment experiences for the heart of your home.
“Get active with motion control games, work out with body tracking technology, video call on the big screen and watch TV with loved ones – even from afar. And this is just the start. With our powerful Entertainment OS ecosystem, it will keep getting better with every update.”
