Canon EOS Virtual Reality System Information

EOS VR System Information on the Canon Camera News 2023 website:

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. (Source: Canon EOS VR System White Paper).

"The EOS VR System by Canon is an exciting development for creating immersive three-dimensional content. Here’s what you need to know:

Components:
  • Mirrorless Cameras: The system uses compatible mirrorless cameras.
  • Dedicated Lens: Attach the RF 5.2mm F2.8L DUAL FISHEYE lens to your camera.
  • Computer Software: Utilize Canon’s EOS VR Utility for post-processing.

Capture Stereoscopic 180° VR:
  • The RF 5.2mm F2.8L DUAL FISHEYE lens projects left and right eye images onto a single Full Frame sensor.
  • This eliminates alignment and synchronization issues, simplifying the process.
  • Compatible cameras include EOS R5, R5 C, and EOS R6 Mark II.

Workflow:Shoot:
  • Set up your camera with the lens and desired settings.
  • Remote Shooting: Use EOS Utility or Camera Connect for live previews.
  • Convert: Canon’s EOS VR Utility streamlines conversion for editing.
  • Edit: For professional control, use Adobe Premiere Pro with converted files 1.

Benefits:
  • Up to 8K resolution.
  • Efficient workflow.
  • Simplified stitching process.
