So it all sound good as far as Android gaming on big screen goes, well, that’s until you realized touch-based games are never meant to be played with traditional controllers, and that’s not to mention the limited titles a dedicated Android game console has to offer, and casting only result in you looking at your smartphone or tablet instead of the TV cos’ you can’t see where you’re touching. Those are the issues ZRRO (pronounced as “zero”) aims to address. In fact, if what promised holds true, it could a game-changing device. So what the heck is ZRRO?

The system consists of two parts: the box and the controller. The former is capable of up to 4K output, which you could leverage on when viewing video services like Netflix or Youtube. The box is powered by a 2.0GHz quad-core processor and has 2GB RAM and comes equipped with a pair of USB ports, plus a microSD card slot which you definitely going to need since the box itself only provides a modest 16GB storage. But the real selling point here is the patented controller that a new control scheme, called zTouch. This unique touch technology is able to detect the position of your fingers up to 1.2 inches (or 3 cm) above the surface of the pad and in addition to that, it will display the position of your fingers on the big screen so you know where you are touching or where your fingers will be landing without looking down.

Precision aside, this means that touch-based games can be played as-is with no optimization required from developers, which translates to a ready catalog of games waiting to be played.
