"In December, Meta announced a multiyear partnership with James Cameron's Lightstorm Vision to bring 3D entertainment to Meta's Quest headsets. This week, Cameron joined Meta CTO Andrew Bosworth on stage during the company's Meta Connect conference to share a first result of that partnership: Quest owners are able to watch an exclusive preview clip for Cameron's upcoming Avatar 3 movie via the headset's new Horizon TV app."
"James Cameron: It just seems like a natural convergence. I had been proselytizing about stereoscopic media and entertainment for 25 years. It kind of went dormant for a while, because cinema was the only place to really see it. It had a brief life on flat panel TV, but the devices never really worked that well. But in mixed reality headsets, you're innately a stereoscopic viewer. [When I saw] mixed reality headsets, it occurred to me:"
Meta and Lightstorm Vision formed a multiyear partnership to deliver stereoscopic 3D entertainment on Meta Quest headsets. Quest owners can access an exclusive Avatar 3 preview via the Horizon TV app. James Cameron founded Lightstorm Vision to focus on stereoscopic production after decades promoting stereoscopic media, citing past limitations of flat-panel 3D. Mixed reality headsets provide an innate stereoscopic viewing experience, making them a natural platform for renewed 3D efforts. Meta's content team sought a stereoscopic production partner to engage studios and filmmakers. Meta CTO Andrew Bosworth values Cameron's combined storytelling and technical critique to guide product development.
