the 'canon MR (mixed reality)' system enables the explorable, full-3D visualization of computer-generated imagery
the new 'MR (mixed reality) system' by canon enables the viewing of full-scale, 3-dimensional CGI in real environments.
the full-vision headset donned by users integrates not only video cameras and displays but also a positional and directional
sensor that ensure that the virtual image is seen at the proper perspective relative to the viewer. canon refers to the system
as 'mixed reality' to contrast it from a simple superimposing of imagery onto the real environment, since the digital imagery
is explorable in realistic 3D thanks to these sensors.
'canon MR' is designed particularly for use in the industrial design and manufacturing industries. virtual spaces and interior
designs can be visualized in reality; products can designed and tweaked by teams during the development process;
and finished objects can be explored by potential clients firsthand.
the device is expected in production by the end of july 2012.
