In summary, Avatar's 3-D effects are created using a combination of motion capture, CGI animation, and stereoscopic filming techniques. This technology enhances the viewing experience by creating a sense of depth and dimension on the screen. Unlike traditional 3-D films, Avatar's 3-D technology uses polarized glasses for a more realistic and seamless 3-D effect. However, not everyone is able to see the 3-D effects in Avatar due to potential visual impairments or eye conditions. While the 3-D technology used in Avatar is safe for most viewers, those who experience discomfort or nausea should consult a doctor before viewing the film in 3-D.

The film Avatar with 3-dimensional projection seems much superior in color, subtlety and naturalness to the 3-D shows of old. How do they do it?

Advancements in 3-d technology, HD filming for the human parts, bigger HDD in less space for higher quality film. That is my guess anyways.

The cameras are a lot smaller so you can do more realistic camera moves.
The system Avatar used can also tilt the cameras toward each other as they get close to an object (like your eyes do), they also generated a lot of the 3d objects completely digitally
