Canon has officially announced the launch of its MREAL headset, better known as Mixed Reality headset, with an augmented reality system. In case if you haven't heard about this device earlier, Canon's MREAL headset comes equipped with a head-mounted display which combines augmented reality system for the users to explore the virtual product designs in the real world. The innovative gadget allows users to interact with computer-generated 3D versions of the new designer creations. Compared to Google Glass, the Mixed Reality headset generates video of your surroundings via the pair of cameras fixed in the front of wearer’s eye.
In fact, it doesn't projects augmented reality of your surroundings directly on the transparent displays, but it produces the video via a computer to bring a live video feed to dual displays attached with the visor strapped to the device.
It is designed to produce high quality, there-dimensional (3D) images with the help of two small monitors. Users can envision and virtually experience the prototype of a new design, be it a car or any other object, through this augmented reality device in full details.
Although the target audience being designers, manufacturers, university researchers and others from the similar professions for this device, Canon's Mixed Reality headset is still way too costlier with its price tag of $125,000 for professionals.
Additionally, the users have to bear another $25,000 for this device in order to meet its annual maintenance requirements. The MREA headset is slated to be launched in March this year.
