iPhone Works As Controller To iPad Video Game Console [Video]

The idea of one day playing iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch games on our TV isn’t far fetched. The idea is relatively pointless considering the fact that you’ll be playing pretty archaic casual games on an expensive set up, but it is expected to become a reality soon. Developer of the popular iOS game, The Incident,recently published a blog post where he shows his game being played on an HDTV. It works by pairing the iPhone or iPod Touch with an iPad and then connecting the iPad to the TV. The smaller iOS device acts as the controller and the iPad as the console. Here’s a bit from the post that might help explain things:

This is a beta of The Incident 1.3 running my TV. Here’s how it works:

  1. Plug your iPad into the TV
  2. Pair your iPad with your iPhone or iPod Touch
  3. Sit on your couch and play

And that’s it. You never have to get up to touch the iPad. You do everything from the controller. It works great.

The real question is how he managed to make the iPad connect to the TV. The iPad Dock to VGA adapter is typically extremely limited and only works for certain apps. We are hoping he’ll answer the question soon. As usual, stay tuned for more news and info regarding your iDevices by following us on Twitter and/or subscribing to our RSS feed.
