Video: James Cameron’s Stereoscopic 3D Camera
There wasn't a camera on the market that could do what director James Cameron wanted to do. So, he invented his own camera.
How badass is that?
I'm not going to try and describe how it works in detail. In short, his camera acts like a set of human eyeballs.
Watch the video below for a cool 4min sneak peek of the camera:

Sigourney Weaver who acts in Cameron's next movie Avatar mentioned something that blew my mind during her recent appearance on Late Night with Conan O'brien.
She said that the new camera allows Cameron to capture a scene with actors (wearing special skins) and then go into the studio when everyones left for the day and re-shoot different angles of the same scene without needing the actors.
If that wasn't enough for you, BusinessWeek reporter Aili McConnon recently had an extremely interesting email exchange with James Cameron about all kinds of futuristic film/technology stuff.
In the interview, he mentioned something very insightful about the future of mobile technology (aka small screens):
"The density of information one can place on a small screen becomes much higher if it's stacked in three dimensions."
Hmmm... I'm guessing Steve Jobs already has some sort of 3D display mobile device prototype in his labs.
