The avatar used by James Cameron in performance capture is in his opinion the future of the art of acting: using this technique could be Will Smith at 75 still make action movies in which he looked so like now, said Cameron. The technology does not replace an actor, but even authorize. Cameron even goes so far as to say that performance capture what constitutes an actor who can capture up to 100% (ie completely).
