There are radical changes on the horizon of how an audience watches a movie. There is a new technology called BD-Live that establishes a connection to the Internet to enhance your movie viewing experience by allowing viewer participation. The BD-Live works with a Blue Ray player or PS3. It allows viewers to save and share video clips of movies, participate in games and converse with other viewers while watching a movie.
The future of BD-Live is promising. It has the ability to establish a community base following for all movies, allowing the viewers to share knowledge or comments on the scenes as they are taking place. It also gives viewers the ability to converse with each other about other movies.
Walt Disney Studios figures prominently with the emergence of BD-Live. Many of the Disney films are available to the BD-Live community. This serves to enhance family bonding since family members across the country to view the movies together or play the games. Below is a link showing the many options BD-Live has for the consumer.

That is pretty freaking sweet. I know I wouldn’t get involved with it, but I still like it. I don’t mind going to the movies every now and then, but with the ridiculous prices for movies, I think if I watched movies enough, this would convert me. It’s cool that people can connect from anywhere and talk about their movies that they like best. It’s going to blow the world away with a whole new way to view movies. Good for Disney, I think it’ll really take off.
ReplyDeleteWho Are We and Geraldine: I truly enjoyed your post. I never heard of B-D Live. Now from reading your post I know what it is. Imagine being able to interact with the movies we are watching. Leave it to Disney to be one of the first to feature B-D Live movies. These movies of the future look not only fun but also educational. How cool would it be to discuss how we like or do not like a movie with relatives watching the same movie, and all this before the movie is even over. This was a really interesting post. Just when you think movies cannot get any better or interesting, then comes B-D Live. Great Post. Mary Ann Reday.
