E N D
3D market is about to explode: 'Avatar' director James Cameron • Three-dimensional films, which enhance the perception of depth by being shot from two perspectives, gained in popularity during the 2000s and achieved a breakthrough with Cameron's Avatar in 2009, which became the top box-office earner ever. • "One of the things that I think has hurt the business are quick and shabby versions in 3D," said Cameron. "It's not worth it if you can't do it right.“ • Cameron's own Titanic was re-released in a 3D version in cinemas last month, after a year of work on the conversion personally supervised by Cameron • But few fans will be in a position to enjoy the 3D version: according to media analysis firm Screen Digest, just 18 million households globally will have the television set, player and glasses necessary to play Blu-ray 3D at home this year.
