3D HEADGEAR FOR MOBILE VIRTUAL REALITY

 

 Called Mixed Reality, it allows you to walk around an object of your choice and see it from all angles

This VR headgear can beam digital images into real life environments. It projects a 3D image from a computer screen into your surroundings.

 

You could choose to walk around the 3D projection as if it were real. It could be a giant ant, or an art sculpture, or landmark downloaded from Google and and see it from all angles.

 

As the wearer moves, the images on the display panels move so that they align with their point of view.  This changes the angle at which they are looking at the 3D projection.  This process is done almost simultaneously so that the virtual world lines up with the real one and includes scaling and resizing.

 

The system developed by Canon of Japan runs on Windows 7 and Windows XP.  Although the technology was first announced back in 2010, the company showed off the device at the Virtual Reality Expo in Tokyo this week and said it will start selling the platform from the end of this month.
