. Now BMW says its collaboration with AirConsole will allow both the driver and passengers to play casual games in the Series 5 .
Apparently, the idea is to give people a way of passing time while waiting for the vehicle to charge, for example. Players will use their smartphones as controllers for the BMW Curved Display. After starting the AirConsole app in the vehicle, the connection between the smartphone and the vehicle is established by scanning a QR code on the display.
The AirConsole app supports multiple players, with rear passengers also able to play. The initial selection of games includes racing, sports, quiz, simulation and puzzle games. Titles include “Go Kart Go”, “Golazo”, “Music Guess” and “Overcooked”. BMW says that after the 5 Series, the AirConsole app will be successively offered in other vehicles and the portfolio of games will be continually expanded.
