Hollywood titan James Cameron and his Lightstorm Vision are partnering with technology firm Meta to boost 3D experiences across a variety of content ranging from movies to TV series to live sports to concerts.
As per Meta, the aim is to "scale the creation of world-class 3D entertainment experiences spanning live sports and concerts, feature films, and TV series featuring big-name IP on Meta Quest—which will be Lightstorm Vision’s exclusive MR hardware platform."
The details of the projects under development from the joint venture are expected to be announced in due time.
Sharing his excitement, Cameron said, “Recently, Boz (Andrew Bosworth, Meta CTO and Head of Reality Labs) showed me some of Meta’s advanced tech. I was amazed by its transformational potential and power, and what it means for content creators globally. I’m convinced we’re at a true, historic inflection point. Navigating that future with Meta will ensure all of us have the tools to create, experience, and enjoy new and mind-blowing forms of media.”

Aside from co-creating original content, Meta and Lightstorm Vision’s technology would assist creators with high-quality 3D content “through the use of advanced tooling, including employing AI.” Cameron is already a member of the board of directors of the artificial intelligence company, Stability AI.
“Our goal is to make top-tier 3D content more accessible — both for creators to produce and for people to enjoy at home and on the go,” said Meta.
Cameron, known for creating innovative blockbusters such as The Terminator, Aliens, Terminator 2: Judgment Day, and Titanic, employed Lightstorm Vision's 3D tech in the first two Avatar movies and the upcoming third entry, Avatar: Fire and Ash, which is expected to hit the screens on December 19, 2025.
