The 3D system that Avatar the movie uses
What is the 3D system that is used in the making of the Avatar movie?
It turns out to be stereo scopic system called realD Cinema. It's not the first movie to use the technology though. other films like Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs, The Final Destination.
The large scale and remarakble sweeping views in the Movie Avatar make 3D quite appropriate to create a real sense of depth.
To make the movies like this film makers use two HD cameras, presumably variants of the Sony CineAlta range. Cameron used a modified version of the Fusion camera for his 2009 film Avatar.

- It was developed and founded in 2003 by Michael V. Lewis and Joshua Greer.
- RealD 3D cinema technology uses circularly polarized light to produce stereoscopic images.
- Circular polarization differs from linear polarization in that viewers are able to tilt their head and look about screen of the theatre naturally with no loss of 3D perception. A linear system
a circularly polarizing liquid crystal filter that can switch polarity many times per second is placed on front of the projector lens.
Only one projector is needed, as the left and right eye images are displayed alternately.
