Netblender, a technology firm from Alexandria, VA has created Blu-ray software that works in collaboration with BD-Live (internet enabled Blu-ray players including the PS3) . The software called BD Touch will enable an Ipod or Iphone to interact with the player using such features like using the device as "a remote control letting users interact with a Blu-ray movie, including bonus features, GPS tracking, trivia and games. BD Touch allows for the transfer of video, audio, text and player commands to an Iphone or Ipod." - Home media Magazine April 13-19, 2008
Some features listed by Netblender's website
- Pushing digital copies of movies to an iPhone from the Blu-ray disc menu.
- Automatically cataloguing a viewer’s Blu-ray disc collection and providing movie suggestions
- Updating and managing a viewer’s rental queue
- Displaying trivia and extra information about a movie in sync with the movie's playback
- Turning existing Blu-ray discs into games that use the iPhone as the game controller
- Viewing fan-created content in sync with the disc
