(Lyve), a startup focused on creating the best experience for collecting, sorting, and protecting photos and videos, today announced its collaboration with VIZIO, America's #1 smart TV company(1), to bring its technology to the VIZIO internet Apps platform.

Available later this year on the VIZIO Internet Apps Plus(TM) Smart TV platform, Lyve gives consumers the ability to aggregate and access personal content and enjoy it on their VIZIO Smart TVs.
New solutions like LyveHome, a high-capacity mobile device, and the Lyve app, which will be available for iOS, Android, OS X and Windows devices, allow VIZIO consumers to seamlessly bring their photos and videos into the living room and onto the big screen. The Lyve app brings together the consumer's photo and video collection, allowing the content to be accessed from any connected device at any time.

With Lyve and LyveHome, VIZIO consumers can view their personal photos and videos on their TV from their connected devices, without any additional wires or complicated set-up. By simply selecting the Lyve app from their VIZIO TV, consumers can begin browsing and viewing their personal photo and video content, easily navigating with their existing VIZIO TV remote control.
"One of the reasons we started Lyve was to create a new way for people to view and share their most treasured moments in life. Working with VIZIO brings this concept to the next level by expanding personal photo and video content into the living room, where it can go from a singular experience into a shared one," says Tim Bucher, CEO of Lyve.
