The lens will be part of what Canon is calling an EOS VR System a new virtual reality (VR) video production system. Apart from the lens, the system also includes two computer software applications. Canon has not announced the launch date for the lens or applications but, aims to make them available before the end of this year. All the newly announced products will be available from end-December 2021, it said.

The main highlight of Canon’s new adventure is the dual eye fisheye lens, which looks very unusual. It has two fisheye lenses mounted side by side. The camera maker says that the two lenses sit at a distance of 60 mm or 24 inches to match human interpupillary distance and provide comfortable parallax for VR and AR.
