The company, which has not yet made a statement on technical features and pricing, has also revealed its claim in the field of virtual and augmented reality with this device. The product, whose release date has not yet been determined, is expected to reach a much wider area of use in a few years.
Canon has taken various steps in virtual reality before. Launching a double fisheye lens for the RF mirrorless camera system in 2021, Canon has demonstrated its determination in this regard with the camera introduced at Photo Next.
Canon’s new 360-degree camera falls under the V series, which is reserved for consumer products. This means that the company will launch this camera soon. Canon’s initiative is expected to be very successful, especially as big companies such as Apple step into the virtual and augmented reality market.
As it is known, Apple introduced the Vision Pro mixed reality glasses with the WWDC 23 event it held last week. After the new mixed reality glasses that impress with its features, it is now inevitable for other companies to introduce their new technologies. We can say that Canon has taken an important step in this regard with its 360-degree camera.
With the development of the augmented and virtual reality market, we expect to see new breakthroughs from many different technology companies. So what do you think about Canon’s new 360 degree camera? You can share your views with us in the comments section.
