Director of upcoming animated film Avatar, as well as creator of classics such as Titanic and The Terminator, James Cameron believes that the future of gaming lies within stereoscopic displays, which are essentially tools to fool the brain into thinking the image has depth.
Speaking at Microsoft’s Advance 2008 Conference, Cameron claimed stereo production to be the “next big thing”, noting the importance of such a concept with a first-person shooter. He revealed that the game adaptation of the upcoming 3D film currently sports stereoscopic imagery via 3D glasses. However, he pointed out that there are certain displays in the market that do not require special glasses to get the effect.
“When you are viewing in stereo, which is what we do, more neurons are firing. More blood is pumping through the brain, Cameron concluded. “We are born seeing in three dimensions. Most animals have two eyes and not one. There is a reason I think.”
The game is due out alongside the film which is scheduled for release next year.
