What is Virtual Reality?
Virtual Reality is the creation of an environment that fills the viewers field of view and presented in such a way as to immerse the user within that environment and make them ‘believe’ they are somewhere else. Environments can be filmed real life scenes, using specialist camera systems, or can be computer generated (or can even be a mixture of the two).

To experience virtual reality in its truest form, the user must wear a Head Mounted Display (HMD) / VR headset that projects a (3D) stereoscopic image onto the users eyes (using two images, one for each eye, showing the same scene but from slightly different angles), providing depth perception and filling their field of view, while ideally also incorporating spatial audio.

Canon EOS VR System
Canon’s EOS VR SYSTEM (which includes the Canon RF 5.2MM F2.8L DUAL FISHEYE lens) aims to provide a better balance of price and performance while making the process of 180° VR content creation a lot simpler and more efficient, enabling greater opportunity to create more content and enabling more people to enter the VR content creation market.
