Fans will be able to see in-person the workmanship behind the film, whether it’s how scenes are captured; or how a Na’vi costume was built first as a real world garment then produced digitally,” said director James Cameron.
“It’ll create a tactical reality that’ll be a good companion to having seen the movie.”
