French Iron Man Release to Utilize BD Touch


Posted October 3, 2008 11:44 AM by Josh Dreuth

Blu-ray Disc Inside sources have alerted Blu-ray.com that the upcoming Blu-ray release of 'Iron Man' in France will utilize NetBlender's BD Touch technology that allows your Blu-ray movie to interact with your iPhone and iPod Touch. The application, called "Remote Haxey", will allow users to download trailers, play a game that's integrated into the movie, and use your iPhone as a remote control, among other unrevealed features.

The "Remote Haxey" BD Touch program runs seamlessly on the on the iPhone; screen shots showing the BD Touch features.


As of today, this is the first Blu-ray release to utilize BD Touch, and by utilizing the technology on such a high profile title, this will hopefully result in many more companies using this program. Other features present on the disc that are not available on the US release include the ability to adjust the position of the subtitles on the screen, as well as play editor and make your own version of the film.

The Blu-ray release of 'Iron Man' is set to be released on November 5th in France. For more information about BD Touch, you can visit NetBlender's site.
