Whether or not you’re a fan of James Cameron’s work is irrelevant when he speaks on 3D technology. As a huge initiator of the platform in theatres everywhere with Avatar, Cameron is again talking about 3D, but this time the subject is overall technology adoption. He explains that 3D technology was definitely boosted by the movie visibility, but doesn’t believe that theatres are enough to generate the home integrations that many companies are considering. Instead, he points to tablets as the portal that’s necessary to bring 3D into the home. Because many are developing glasses-free 3D technology, expect many to start taking a chance on the platform in general.

Cameron goes on to explain why the glasses-free 3D element is important. Autostereoscopic TVs are the likely solution to the hindrance that so many have cited: the glasses themselves. We already have smaller screens utilizing the technology, but until we see everything done on a larger level, 3D sales may continue to sag a bit.

James Cameron is a huge advocate of 3D technology, and he believes that consumer actually want the necessary hardware but simply don’t want to wear specs to get the effect. Toggling between 2D and 3D visuals will become commonplace in the future, and with so many already releasing 3D laptop initiatives, look for the same push to begin making headway into large screen home units.

Avatar will be re-released in this autumn with eight minutes extra footage.

Avatar was one of the best impressive movies. TechRadar has seen the movie on the big screen, but we think that 160 minutes was undoubtedly the longest time, we have seen the 3D movie in one sitting.
Adding eight extra minutes implies that the movie will be 170 minutes long now. This will test the patience of people, as they have to wear the 3D specs for long hours.

According to Fox, the main reason for releasing Avatar again is 3D explosion. The number of 3D screens has now increased and the enthusiastic movie goers who did not experience the movie in 3D will now get an opportunity.

This will also help to keep the movie new in the minds of people. The 3D version of Avatar will hit the box offices at the end of this year. The movie will be released on 27th August in the UK. You can get more details by visiting www.avatarmovie.com

James Cameron encouraged 3D technology

James Cameron is again in the news for 3D.   He wants all TV producers to invest more money in the 3D show.

While talking in a Seoul technology forum, he said that filmmakers face many challenges while converting 2D into 3D.  According to him people should shoot directly in 3D in place of converting 2D to 3D all over the world as many people today are shooting in 3D.  Future belongs to 3D and we are going to have many 3D TVs around us.  To show so many programs on it we need thousands of hours CDs of sports, comedy, music and other entertainment.

According to him the concentration should be on 3D content in place of money.  People should not bother about money.  Since 3D TVs are already in the market now there is no time for converting 2D into 3D.  Now the future shoot should be in 3D.

Everybody should learn how to do live 3D shooting.  This will bring the cost of 3D shooting down.  Everything is available today.  The channel, the sets, the only thing which is missing is the content which production people need to get.

James Cameron is one of the few directors who have worked on 3D content with Avatar.  Avatar was officially the highest grossing film of all the time.  Cameron speaks with Confidence as he can be considered the most experienced director to work on 3D technology.

Avatar is the most expensive film because he used 3D technology which was created from the ground up.  All the TV giants like Sony, Samsung, LG and Panasonic will be very happy to know that Cameron is backing 3D technology as these companies have invested very heavily in their 3D TVs.

After the success of his film 3D film Avatar, James Cameron is supporting 3D technology in a big way. And he feels that everyone should go in for 3D.
At the Seoul Technology forum, he threw light on the obstacles the filmmakers had to go through to convert their 2D films into 3D. He stated that the films should be shot in 3D only and one should let go of their inhibition regarding 3D as many filmmakers are already using this technology successfully.

He added that in the near future, even television will be 3D and we would be watching sports, music and other forms of entertainment in 3D. Cameron added that producers in both TV and film industry should put their worries aside and focus to bring out more 3D content as in future they won’t have the time or the money for conversions.
The shooting will have to be live in 3D and costs will be centering around 3D only.

Everything else like sets and channels are already there and one has to generate the content only. Cameron is the only Hollywood director who is so confident about the technology and more so after the success of his 3D fantasy film. In addition to this, Cameron accepted that it was very costly to make the film as he had to set up the 3D technology from scratch.
Companies like Samsung, LG, Panasonic and Sony are happy with the new of Cameron promoting 3D as they are the ones who are into making 3D TVs.

Well, it looks like not only has 3D re-joined the ranks of cinema, but it could be taking over permanently.  When James Cameron sat back and watched the 3D success of his smash hit “Avatar”, he noticed that the technology will not only stick around for a while, but possible take the film industry by storm.  Headlining the Cameron-Pace Group, James Cameron is looking to encourage film-makers, game designers, and broadcasters to utilize the 3D technology to push every aspect of the business to new heights.

Cameron expects to see a complete conversion in both the commercial cinema and home theatre markets in the next 3-5 years.  As directors and game developers begin to use the budding 3D market, many seek to discredit any notions that the movement is going to last.  Numbers from the box-office last year suggested that maybe the craze was starting to die down, but with 3 of the top 5 movies in the world using the stereoscopic 3D element, those hoping to see an end to the medium may find themselves out of luck.
