Director James Cameron has been instrumental in getting movie companies to move towards stereoscopic 3D technologies with Avatar. While he does think that 3D will be everywhere eventually, he thinks some technological hurdles must be jumped first.

Well, we see the world in 3D, said Cameron. To me, there are no barriers to 3D TV in homes in five to ten years.

He thinks that what needs to be developed for the home is auto-stereoscopic technology that lets 3D images be viewed without glasses or a headache. This will take a very advanced 3D TV to generate those sort of 3D images, and that’s probably still several years out. The sweet spots subdivide the total resolution of the screen, so breakthroughs have to happen in display manufacturing, said Cameron.
