Apps firm Myriad will unveil a new platform at the CES 2012 show early next year that will allow Android apps to run on Internet-enabled TVs.

The firm said that Alien Vue – described as the “latest chapter” of its Myriad Alien Dalvik technology – will offer an apps store developed in conjunction with AppCarousel that can be fully branded by TV service providers.

This new release supports apps designed to run on GoogleTV and HTML5, such as YouTube, Netflix and Twitter. Apps, content and services appear and function as they would in their native environment with no disruption or loss of performance, the firm says.

"Alien Vue provides a great alternative to OEMs and service providers who want to harness the Android ecosystem, while leveraging existing investments and retaining control of their customer's TV experience," said CEO Simon Wilkinson.

"Since launching at Mobile World Congress early this year, we have had an incredible response to our Myriad Alien Dalvik software. We have shown how Android apps can work seamlessly across non-Android devices, including mobile phones, tablets and iPads, and now, with Myriad Alien Vue, we have delivered Android to another key screen in people's lives, the TV."

The new platform also supports additional plug-in components like Myriad Connect & Share, providing multi-screen functionality for personal and premium content.
