Blu-ray lets film buffs go online too
12 April 2012
Viewers watching films on TV will get online access to information about actors, locations and music with a new type of Blu-ray disc announced today.
A button on their remote control can be used to download details from the internet for display on their TV while the film plays.
The new MovieIQ service, on show at a Berlin technology fair, will be launched by Sony with the Blu-ray of Angels And Demons.
Sony said: "People may recognise an actor, but don't know who it is and use a laptop. We can now give them that information on the TV."
