I believe 3D is inevitable because it's about aligning our entertainment systems to our sensory system. We all have two eyes; we all see the world in 3D. And it's natural for us to want our entertainment in 3D as well. It's just getting the technology - it's really more the business model than the technology piece. We've solved the technology.
Interpretation
What this quote means
This quote emphasizes the inevitability of 3D entertainment aligning with human sensory perception.
James Cameron articulates a vision in which 3D technology will become a standard form of entertainment, driven by the need for experiences that align with the way humans naturally perceive the world. He suggests that while the technology to achieve this has been developed, the challenge lies more in creating the right business model to bring it to the masses, indicating a future where 3D content is the norm rather than the exception.

Pick up a camera. Shoot something. No matter how small, no matter how cheesy, no matter whether your friends and your sister star in it. Put your name on it as director. Now you're a director. Everything after that you're just negotiating your budget and your fee.
