OUYA is a new game console that can display images both on the display of a mobile device and on a television screen. So far, only a prototype of this device exists, and nothing is known about the timing of the start of full-scale production. Nevertheless, the project is already very popular with potential consumers.
The authors of the new game console put it up on one of the most famous Internet resources (Kickstarter), specializing in crowdfunding - collecting voluntary donations for any purpose. This form of financing various start-up projects has recently become more and more popular. Visit the OUYA Kickstarter page linked below for more information, including demo videos. From the data provided, it is known that the set-top box will use a quad-core Nvidia Tegra 3 processor with one gigabyte of RAM and eight times more flash memory. To connect to various devices, HDMI connectors, WiFi 802.11, Bluetooth LE 4.0 and USB 2.0 interfaces are used. A gamepad or touchpad can be used for control. All hardware, assembled in a cubic case, not larger than a Rubik's cube, must be running the Android 4.0 operating system. It is noteworthy that the authors promise to leave free access to both software and hardware. This will allow anyone who wants to independently upgrade both "software" and "hard", without losing the manufacturer's warranty obligations. The console must be connected to the free games depository, but, of course, it will work with video games created specifically for it. On the Kickstarter site, you can queue up to purchase OUYA for $ 100 with a gamepad (+ $ 30). The prefix was announced on July 3, 2012, and was posted on the site as a crowdfunding project on the 10th. The project is a huge success - it was the fastest in the history of this web resource to raise a million dollars. Eight days before the deadline for accepting donations, more than 45,000 contributors have raised the total to nearly $ 6 million.
