OVERVIEW
Motorola Entertainment Center enables a simple and easy to use multimedia function via the HDMI connection. This design is first of its kind true 3D UI implementation on a mobile phone for the television.
The design and execution of this feature went through countless revisions and refinements because the nature of introducing a cutting edge technology to the mass market (this work was before Android stabilized its mirror mode for dual display support). When Engadget reviewed Motorola Atrix, their feedback on the Entertainment Center rewarded all the efforts went into it - We like the sleek, clean interface that Motorola has come up with for getting at your video, pics, and music.
