The point of this article is for a different usage of the Chromecast.<p>The Chromecast can display webapps (Chromecast apps) and this could transform any TV as interactive screen. Imagine you have a store, you can create an app which display the new products. But instead of having to type the URL on your phone to have more info, the web app could use the Chromecast API to broadcast a URL via NFC.<p>And for more advance stuff, it could implement something like Liwe. It&#x27;s a service to use smartphones as remotes for web apps (&gt;&gt; liwe.co).<p>The problem right now is the Chromecast is only known for broadcasting video and audio while it can do more then that.
