BD Touch allows for you to control your Blu-Ray Disc player via the iPhone and iPod Touch. Pretty darn cool if you ask me! “BD Touch uses the BD Live network connection built into Blu-ray players and the WiFi connection on the iPhone to connect the devices. The sophisticated UI of the iPhone enables unprecedented user interaction when compared to any other handheld device. BD Touch applications can take advantage of the iPhone’s geo location features, 3D sensors and QWERTY keyboard. Video, audio, text, and player commands can be transferred via the connection.”
Some implementations of BD Touch will include:
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 Here are a couple videos of the remote in action:
