The Science behind Avatar (movie)

Elaine Lieu, Linden Lonsdale, Kelly Anne Deamer

Abstract


This paper aims to look at the science behind the movie "Avatar". We will be exploring how Jake’s inability to walk as a human can still allow him to walk and fun freely as an avatar in Pandora. Another concept that we will be looking at, is the use of the avatar by Jake that was supposedly made for his twin brother.
