Visiware Launching Triple-Play Games Offering

Interactive TV games company, Visiware, plans to launch what it claims will be the first "triple-play" (i.e. interactive TV, mobile and broadband) games offering. The company, whose interactive TV games have been widely deployed around the world, has rolled out a mobile version of its Playin'TV interactive TV games channel in France that can be accessed by customers of TPS, Canalsat, Numericable and Noos/UPC. It says that it will launch a broadband version of the channel next month.

According to Visiware, players will be able to maintain their game level, score and "context" between all three platforms. "This is the first ever triple-play interactive games offering, a service that--at long last--grants you the freedom to play whenever you like, on your TV, on your mobile phone, on your PC and other Flash-compatible devices," Visiware founder and president, Laurant Weill, wrote in an email to [itvt].
