With Clik, Your Smartphone Can Control Screens Everywhere - Anthony Ha via Techcrunch
Kik has released a new experiment in smart remote control of computer screens — and maybe a foreshadowing of smart remote control of internet-connected TVs. The system is called Clik — clikthis.com on the web side and an app called Clik on the smartphone. By synching a QR code from the Screen via the mobile app, the mobile user can control what is being displayed on the computer (or TV) screen:

You point your desktop browser at ClikThis.com, which generates a unique QR code. Then you open the Clik iPhone or Android app, aim the camera at the screen, and the app uses the code to figure out which device you’re trying to control. Once it’s synced up, you can select YouTube videos from your phone, and they’ll play on the screen.
Right now it’s only YouTube videos, but this is simply the start of something big. The CEO of Kik, Ted Livingston said, ‘Every screen just becomes a dumb output for your smart remote.’
