Cameron's Avatar a 3D drug trip?

bowman9991 writes: "James Cameron's first movie since 'Titanic', his upcoming science fiction epic 'Avatar', has a budget pushing US$200 million and enough hype to power a mission to Mars. Now it appears the 3D technology he created to turn his vision into a reality, the key to Avatar's success or failure, may be habit forming. Dr. Mario Mendez, a behavioural neurologist at the University of California, said it is entirely possible Cameron's 3D technology could tap brain systems that are undisturbed by conventional 2D movies. Cameron himself believes 3D viewing "is so close to a real experience that it actually triggers memory creation in a way that 2D viewing doesn't" and that stereoscopic (3D) viewing uses more neurons, which would further heighten its impact. Are we all about to become 3D addicts?"
