Windows 10 'continuum' is now called 'modern glass'

One of the most important features Microsoft announced when it introduced Windows 10 for mobile was Continuum. This feature makes any Windows phone work like a laptop by connecting it to any screen. With the little success that the Windows operating system has had in the field of mobile telephony, this almost revolutionary function did not have the repercussion it deserved but Microsoft did not lower its arms and announced a kind of relaunch with Modern Glass.

Microsoft thinks Modern Glass makes more sense to the consumer

Modern Glass is the new name chosen by Microsoft to refer to the Continuum function from now on, a name very similar to 'Xbox SmartGlass', another of the company's functions that allows us to use any Tablet PC to improve our gaming experience. on the XBOX One and XBOX 360 consoles.

The name change to Modern Glass is in line with improving the appeal for the average consumer, let's be honest, it sounds better than saying Continuum, that cannot be denied.

Modern Glass will have improvements with the Redstone update

Microsoft is preparing a series of improvements for Modern Glass that will arrive in the coming months, including the compatibility with screens that are larger than 80 inches (so if you ever expected to use your Windows 10 mobile on a cinema screen, this It could be your chance). Also, Modern Glass (Continuum) could soon support virtual displays, like the one on HoloLens, although it is not yet clear how it will work, as well as the Voice Drive and the interaction of various users.

Windows 10 Mobile will have many improvements from the Redstone update, which everyone expects in spring 2017. which will place special emphasis on this portable platform.
