Samsung’s MediaSquare will redefine the social hub

CES 2016 is definitely a very exciting experience but Samsung constantly looks towards the future and the South Korean giant plans to redefine the social hub. Former MIT Media Lab researcher Jinha Lee is leading a team that's working on a brand new concept called Samsung MediaSquare. What this concept does is allow everyone in a room to connect to your TV using their smartphones and push multimedia content to it which can easily be viewed. The concept is sort of like pinning images on a board as you'll see in the presentation video embedded under this article, and also similar to Google Chromecast which lets everyone cast videos to a TV.

MediaSquare is a pretty unique concept and it makes a social event pretty interesting as it's common for friends and families to want to share photos and videos, but they usually do this by attaching files to a messenger program of their choice which isn't as intuitive or simple. Samsung MediaSquare gets rid of the traditional remote control and puts the smartphone in control, allowing the user to browse through the content that was pushed to the TV, and everyone can do this all at once.

This is still in conceptual stages but we wouldn't be surprised to see it pretty soon. Samsung has had a remarkable presence at their CES 2016 booth with the ‘Future TV Zone' showing us a modular display technology. The South Korean giant seems to be focusing a lot on Smart TVs and the systems that make them run, namely the GAIA security solution and the upgraded Game Service.

Check out the video embedded below showing a demonstration of MediaSquare and let us know what caught your eye at the CES 2016 booth.
