Meta Partners with Lightstorm Vision for Spatial Content Production

Meta has announced a strategic partnership with Lightstorm Vision, James Cameron’s renowned 3D film studio, to collaborate on producing spatial content across various genres, including live events and full-length entertainment.

The partnership entails the creation of live sports and concerts, feature films, and TV series showcasing popular intellectual properties. Meta has revealed in a recent blog post that Lightstorm Vision has chosen Quest as their exclusive MR hardware platform.

Meta has stated that the collaboration with Lightstorm Vision will involve co-producing original stereoscopic content and enhancing content creators’ ability to produce high-quality stereoscopic content through advanced tools, including AI technology.

This multi-year partnership came to fruition after Meta’s CTO and Reality Labs head, Andrew Bosworth, demonstrated the company’s latest hardware to James Cameron.

James Cameron expressed his excitement about the potential of Meta’s technology, stating, “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.”

James Cameron is widely recognized for his directorial work on blockbuster films such as The Terminator (1984), Aliens (1986), The Abyss (1989), Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991), Titanic (1997), and Avatar (2009) and its sequels.

The acclaimed filmmaker has been a vocal advocate for 3D technology and played a pivotal role in popularizing 3D films in the 2010s with the development of the Fusion Camera System, which was utilized for capturing stereoscopic 3D in films like Avatar, Tron: Legacy (2010), and Life of Pi (2012).
