Today at Samsung’s media event in NYC , I got the chance to chat with VP of Content and Product Solutions, Eric Anderson, on the future of Smart TVs. The company just recently released a number of new Smart TV offerings equipped with what Samsung is calling Smart Interaction — the ability to control the TV through voice and gestures.
