Most manufacturers of upgradable Blu-ray players have almost finished work on Profile 2 upgrades, he said.

Furthermore, people have realised that "Blu-ray players are pretty interesting things even when they don't have a disc in them" as with appropriate programming they could deliver other functions such as acting as an IPTV set-top box.

Sun's Java language - originally designed by Gosling - is part of the Blu-ray standard.

Apart from designing the Java language and implementing the original compiler and virtual machine, Gosling previously built a multiprocessor version of Unix and the Emacs text editor. He was also lead engineer of the NeWS window system project at Sun.

His current role is that of a researcher at Sun labs, focussing on software development tools.
