Disney has been diligently working on a new technology, code-named Keychest, that would give users the ability to watch a movie from any device imaginable.
Does Disney’s Keychest sound interesting to you? Tell us.
A studio insider gave this scenario on how Keychest could possibly work…
"Dad has a Zune, Mom has an iPod, there’s a Mac and a PC at home and a Roku box; right now, those devices don’t talk to one another … We intend to blend those worlds."
It’s being rumored that Disney could begin testing the new technology in as little as two months, and it may be consumer ready by next year. Supposedly, Keychest will use cloud-computing coupled with a physical product (e.g. a DVD), that will only require the person to pay for the rights so that it could be watched on any device.
It’s no secret that companies have been looking for a distribution model, as some feel consumers are slowly buying less DVD’s. This is where the Keychest technology would step in.
Would you use Disney’s Keychest technology? Let us know.
