Universal Studios Home Entertainment is making up for lost time. The studio that was the last to get onboard with Blu-ray Disc now seems bent on becoming one of the high-definition format’s key innovators.

The studio today is expected to announce plans to deliver an extensive array of touch-enabled iPhone and iPod features to its upcoming Blu-ray Disc releases. The features can be accessed via companion applications from Apple’s App Store.

The initiative gets rolling July 28 with the Blu-ray Disc release of Fast & Furious. For the first time, iPhone and iPod Touch users will be able to control interactive content on their Web-connected Blu-ray Disc players. On subsequent Universal Blu-ray Disc releases coming later in the year, consumers will be able to access bonus content found on their Blu-ray Disc releases and download it onto their iPhone or iPod Touch. They’ll also be able to use the devices as a virtual remote to control their Blu-ray Disc features and access additional information while watching the movie.
