Canon will ship a new dual-optic lens for its cameras in 2024, the first non-Apple input device to be Apple Certified for Vision Pro.
during its WWDDC keynote presentation. Today, Canon confirmed that it is in development, will ship sometime in 2024, and will be accompanied by software designed to work in tandem with the Vision Pro., Canon explains that the upcoming RF-S7.8mm f/4 STM Dual is designed to support spatial video capture specifically for the Apple Vision Pro and will be an Apple Certified input device.
The two optics inside of the new lens look as though they were meant to mimic the distance between the two cameras on an iPhone that, as Apple has demonstrated since the launch of Vision Pro, can capture immersive video. However, the sensors Apple is using in its iPhones are much smaller than an APS-C sensor — even when it’s split between two lenses.
But Canon isn’t just making hardware. The company says that it also developed the EOS VR Utility app which converts footage captured with the lens and camera into Spatial Video that can be viewed through the Vision Pro.
