Apple announced at WWDC 2024 that Canon is making a funky-looking new lens for its EOS R7 camera, tailor-made for creating spatial video content for the Vision Pro headset. This comes alongside the new visionOS 2 update, which brings more emphasis on spatial images to the Photos app.
This isn’t Canon’s first time making a single-purpose dual-lens array like this for its EOS line. It currently has a VR system with an RF 5.2mm f/2.8 L Dual Fisheye lens that’s compatible with the EOS R5 C, R5, and R6 Mark II.
