Although this isn’t as surprising to me as it might be to some, James Cameron’s ‘Avatar’ Technology could potentially keep actors young forever. The reason I’m not so surprised is that when actually on Pandora, the N’avi are [digitally created](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/avatar-generator). So why wouldn’t they look younger and stronger?

The clincher is the actual ‘Avatar’ technology. Using a highly precise [facial scanning process](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-retinal-scan) (down to their pores, according to Popwatch), Cameron can hone [actors’ talents and emotions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/creatorkit) while manipulating their actual exterior.
