PLAiR Lets You Beam Videos To TV

We live in a day and age where there is just way too much video content available freely. And while Smart TVs and set-top boxes have made streaming online video into the living room easier than ever, many people still have no idea how to beam content to their TV from their existing laptops, tablets and smartphones.

PLAiR is an elegant micro-computer that lets users wirelessly transmit HD online videos directly to any HDMI-equipped display or projector, without any frustration.

There are two main reasons why you should care about PLAiR: First: set-up appears to be really simple, and Second: its platform agnostic, so it doesn’t matter if you’re a Windows or Mac user.

PLAiR co-founder Saad Hussain says the company’s goal is kill the HDMI cable tethering between a laptop and TV and get those people to go wireless. Because PLAiR supports HTML 5 and Flash-based videos, virtually any online video that plays on your computer should beam fine. It also helps that PLAiR’s partnered with a ton of content providers.

PLAiR begins shipping in black, blue and red for $99 directly from the company’s store, but will be available at retail “soon.”
