Canon is looking to the future of VR with its dual fisheye lens.
Canon fisheye lens VR has become huge recently and at IBC 2022, DIYP got to take a look at some of the latest developments in this cutting edge technology. It’s not just used for entertainment purposes. Fully immersive VR can have some serious uses, from the medical world to fighter pilot training. Basically, this technology can be used to speed up training and save lives. Ram Sarup from Canon Europe showed us the RF 5.2mm f/2.8 dual fisheye lens for the Canon EOS R mirrorless system. This lens lets you shoot 3D 180° VR video and photos. “Canon is actually the first company to have such a unique lens system,” says Ram. The lens is designed to work with the EOS R5 and the EOS R5c, which are both models that can shoot 8K video.
