The Smart TV Alliance today announced a handful of new members have joined the organisation.
The alliance aims to bring together players in the smart TV electronics industry to create a common approach to tech, in order to help developers build apps that can run on any smart TV set, regardless of platform. LG Electronics and TP Vision founded the organization, and Toshiba joined shortly after the alliance's launch in June.
The group announced today that Qualcomm and MStar have joined -- adding expertise in smart television hardware -- while web browser provider and app maker Obigo contributes a developer's perspective. In addition, video advertising software and services provider YuMe is expected to bring marketing knowledge to the table.
