James Cameron calls Oculus Rift a "Yawn", where moviemaking is involved.

[kemcha]

I didn't know where to place this topic, so bear with me for a moment.

Every time James Cameron speaks, it simply makes me gag. When the producers of Piranha 3D were making the film, Cameron came out and blasted the producers because he personally believed that the 3D process should only be used for what he called "event" movies. The crap he spewed forth made it sound like HE invented the 3D process, which was laughable since the 3D technology has been around for a lot longer than he's been an imprint on the face of the planet.

Well, James Cameron is at it again, this time blasting away at Oculus Rift, claiming that the technology is a major yawn.

I'd like to know just how James Cameron thinks that people actually listen to the crap he spews. The man's ego is larger than the solar system we live in. Virtual reality movie viewing is the next logical leap and since Oculus Rift is a relatively new technology when it comes to film-making, it's the most logical step for producers to start taking advantage of that technology.

While I agree with the article that it has more impact with the videogame industry than with the movie industry, there are some benefits to movie producers to start experimenting with the new technology. I guess according to James Cameron, Oculus Rift doesn't suck if he's the only director using it.
