Weirdly named Alien Vue tech available to manufacturers spooked by Apple TV and Google TV.
Earlier this year mobile software giant Myriad unveiled Alien Dalvik 2.0, which enables the majority of Android apps to run unmodified using Android Package (APK) files.
It means developers can create once and use many times, and also means more operators and OEMs can support the OS. From a user perspective, Alien Dalvik is transparent, and apps appear as native.
With Alien Vue, Myriad has modified the tech to give smart TV makers the means to run Android apps alongside existing television functions, in a unified user experience.
Myriad will be showcasing Alien Vue at CES.
“Since launching at Mobile World Congress early this year, we have had an incredible response to our Myriad Alien Dalvik software,” said Simon Wilkinson, CEO of Myriad Group.

“We have shown how Android apps can work seamlessly across non-Android devices, including mobile phones, tablets and iPads, and now, with Myriad Alien Vue, we have delivered Android to another key screen in people’s lives, the TV.”
This new release supports apps designed to run on GoogleTV and HTML5, including YouTube, Netflix and Twitter. Apps, content and services appear and function as they would in their native environment with no disruption or loss of performance.
