Canon overhauls Mixed Reality platform with new head-mounted display

Canon’s been fiddling around with augmented (or mixed) reality for some time now, but the company just took things to the next level. A new AR headset announced today is less stylish than that other soon-to-be-released wearable tech you’ve likely heard about, yet certainly more sophisticated than its bigger brother. The controller sees visual markers through dual on-board cameras and projects virtual objects onto two corresponding displays set right above the eyes, marrying the virtual world to the desert of the real. You can gaze from any angle and even manipulate the virtual projects with what looks to be a plastic, magic ice cream cone. The glasses are set to release next month and, while Canon hasn’t assigned a price, all the planned applications are decidedly industrial, making us think they won’t be cheap. So, you probably won’t be using em’ to scope out the various Layars around your hood.Canon overhauls Mixed Reality platform with new head-mounted display originally appeared on Engadget on Mon, 18 Jun 2012 17:47:00 EDT.
