“Eight to ten years away” says Avatar’s James Cameron on Glasses-Free 3DTV
It’s fair to say that when talking 3D movies thus far, easily the most successful so far is Avatar. In fact, box office stats have Avatar as the world record holder of any movie, raking in a mega US$2.7 billion worldwide. So when its’ creator, James Cameron talks 3D, its’ not the worst idea to listen to him.
Speaking at yesterday’s Blu-Con 2010 conference in California, James Cameron told audiences that true uptake of domestic ‘autostereoscopic’ (aka. glasses-free) 3D TV was “at least eight to ten years away”. And that’s in America! So even though Toshiba have already announced the release of the first of them in Japan (due for release before the end of the year), it seems as though it will be quite some time until they are common place in Aussie homes.
