Worlds Collide at Comic-Con 2008

New media technologies change the way we look at entertainment!

SAN DIEGO, Calif. ? Right now, you can upload your own face from a digital photo into a program on your Sony BD Live-enabled Blu-ray disc and make yourself one of the characters in a movie.

So, in respect to the adult industry, it?s only a matter of time until viewers can put themselves into the action, sword fighting with Evan Stone or getting totally interactive with a star like Tera Patrick in a customized POV scene.

At least, that was one innovation being touted at the Comic-Con International, held in San Diego over the weekend.

The new BD Live Blu-ray discs were being previewed at Sony's massive booth at the "Con," along with a new BD Live-enabled disc player that hooks up to the Internet, released by the company last week. A company spokesperson pointed out that the new discs also would work with any Playstation 3 or Internet-connected Blu-ray player. Sony expects to have 13 movies on Blu-ray with BD Live features available by the end of the month.

At the show, there was a demo of the photo upload feature using the 1997 movie "Starship Troopers," in which could make yourself a bug-killing storm trooper. Another feature was demonstrated with the recently released movie "21" [starring Kevin Spacey], showed off an interactive blackjack game, where players could post their scores to an online bulletin board and compete with other players on the Web.

The BD Live discs also allow users to download movie dialogue ringtones and extra bonus content available exclusively online, as well as movie previews and trailers. Not to mention, the slideshow-style scene menu in an overlay format that allows viewers to browse through scenes without leaving the movie.

It was fairly obvious that the new bells and whistles at Sony are in response to consumers' never-ending fascination with interactivity and customization, as well as advancements in home theater technology ? the added pay-off being that content customized by the user is not something that can be downloaded from a bit torrent or file-hosting website.

With both mainstream and adult entertainment industries experiencing a decline in revenue partially attributed to content piracy, new innovations like the BD Live features offer consumers the kind of stuff that they can't steal off the Web.

SOUNDS LIKE INTERACTIVITY TAKEN TO THE NEXT LEVEL !!!

Who will be the first in Adult to follow the lead with this new technology?
