Display game UI/HUD on phone instead of monitor.

Everyone has a phone. And this 6 inch or so screen is not being utilised.

Games look way better when HUD and UI is turned off, but of course that has many down sides. Why not move the HUD and UI to your phone instead thru the Steam mobile app?

Some games already support this, but universal and native Steam api would open it up to everyone.even indie game developers who have great innovation.


How about a Steam api addon that game developers can use to give players an option to hide their HUD and game UI and make it display on their mobile phones and tablets natively via steam.


This would also really come into it's own when you clip your phone to your controller too.

Not to mention, phone is also an input device... allowing for effectively unlimited amounts of additonal buttons to be added to a controller.

I think this would really evolve games are played.

+1 good idea
My phone's HDR display never gets utlised, this will perhaps force it.

My phone nearly lasts one day on a single charge, this would burn it up!

Wait until AR is completely available and we will have mobile monitors through the googles. Want two screens? With AR even 20 screens could be possible, lol.

How about AR within AR  @.@

Soon there will be the petabyte and the infamous exabyte.
