HOME viewing of movies in three dimensions will be slow to catch on until technology improvements deliver high-quality viewing without special 3D glasses, says James Cameron, director of films including "Titanic" and "Avatar."
Cameron, a fervent believer in 3D, said a lack of high-quality content was also a barrier to wider adoption, but a poor technology to accommodate groups of people watching from different angles without glasses was the main obstacle.
"The biggest hurdle right now is the experience in the home. While it's quite good, it requires committing to wearing glasses," Cameron told Reuters.
"It's a family phenomenon so it has to be seen from different angles. High-quality, full HD-resolution, glasses-free displays are two to four years away," he said. "In the next few years, I think the market will explode."
3D films, which enhance the perception of depth by being shot from two perspectives, achieved a breakthrough with Cameron's Avatar in 2009, the top box-office earner ever.
