Jean Michel Jarre is filming his latest concerts in 3D, using the same cameras used to shoot James Cameron’s pioneering 3D film Avatar.

Jarre was contacted by Panasonic, which developed the cameras, about filming the concerts in 3D and high-definition sound.

Jean Michel Jarre’s 3D concert film will be released in 3D and 2D later this year, according to Jarre. He calls 3D filmmaking as “important a revolution as going from black-and-white to color.”

Jarre previously released Jean Michele Jarre’s Oxygene: Live In Your Living Room as a 3D film, using older 3D technology.
