Canon继“MREAL_Mixed Reality”头盔后，推出手持式虚拟现实头显

　　简介

　　Canon VR Headset

　　大部分的虚拟现实产品到目前为止我们已经熟知了，像专攻虚拟现实的Oculus公司，或者是展望未来的移动产业公司HTC和三星。但现在有一家大家所熟知的光学公司也加入了这个战场中。

　　相对较大的手持虚拟现实设备

　　该设备需要用手举着贴近人的脸部，然后360度转动观看

　　拥有2.5K的分辨率

　　120度的视野

　　配备有两个5.5英寸的显示器

　　每个显示器的分辨率为2560 x1440

　　看起来比较沉的设备，但是演示下来，持续了大概5分钟，不怎么感觉累。

　　显示效果令人印象深刻，追踪效果也很好，没发现有可见盲点。

　　佳能表示设计只是初步的，成品最终才会成为真正的头显。

　　像一个教育辅助设备，它是坚固的，而且容易操作，最处是不用戴上就能使用，只需要贴近脸部。

　　When did Canon start developing this MR System?

　　Yasuda: Development of MR technology began in 1997 with the joint establishment of the Mixed Reality Systems Laboratory with the Japan Key Technology Center of the Ministry of International Trade and Industry (now the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry).

　　Was it your goal from the start to apply MR to manufacturing?

　　Ryoji Kondo: We decided to apply this technology in the industrial field, including manufacturing from the beginning. By around 2007, car manufacturers were using system prototypes and providing us with feedback.

　　It was in 2007 that, technologically speaking, we created a prototype of the current MREAL, with an HMD employing a free-form prism, alignment technology using markers, and external sensors.
