Canon takes augmented reality to next dimension (Dipping our toe into the Matrix)

Canon has shown off more details with its 3D take on augmented reality. It looks like an impressive but expensive technology that might be a solution in search of a problem.

The system is dubbed MREAL, standing for Mixed Reality, and goes on sale on March 1. It’s the same basic concept as augmented reality, which uses a screen or glasses to overlay graphics or text on a picture of the real world.

The MREAL system uses a headset with two cameras placed directly in front of the eyes to capture what the user would see without the equipment. It then combines these images to make a 3D picture, adds on the computer generated material, and then produces a 3D image shown to the user on a screen that lies between the cameras and their eyes.
