Today at E3 (http://www.engadget.com/2013/06/10/e3-2013-microsoft-liveblog/), Microsoft demonstrated the new SmartGlass (http://www.engadget.com/2013/05/21/xbox-one-smartglass/) app compatible with Xbox One. Using Crytek's Ryse: Son of Rome (http://www.engadget.com/2013/06/10/crytek-ryse-son-of-roman-day-one-launch-title-xbox-one/) for the demo and running off of a Surface tablet, reps were able to show how real-time info can be streamed to the player on the second screen. This extended functionality also encompasses the ability to start a single player game, setup multiplayer, buy add-on content while in-game and view leaderboard stats, as well as tips and tricks for concurrent gameplay. All of this comes in addition to the video scraping feature (http://www.engadget.com/2013/06/10/xbox-one-upload-studio-twitch/), which utilizes Twitch.tv, Microsoft had previously announced for Xbox One SmartGlass -- just as promised.
