Unistellar, a company known for its innovative smart telescopes, is exploring a new frontier: augmented reality binoculars. Their upcoming Envision binoculars are poised to transform how we interact with our environment.
Augmented Reality Overlays
The Envision binoculars feature a pioneering augmented reality (AR) overlay system. With just a press of a button, users can access a wealth of contextual information directly in their field of view. This personalized data, which includes an extensive map database, caters to a variety of needs. The Smart Scouting mode lets you effortlessly explore and identify landmarks and points of interest. For stargazers, the Guided Navigation mode turns the night sky into a guided tour, unveiling celestial wonders with informative overlays. Wildlife enthusiasts will appreciate the Shareable Target-Lock mode, which enables you to locate an animal, share its location with others, and keep everyone focused on the subject. For those who prefer a more traditional experience, the Envision can seamlessly switch to a classic, high-quality optical view.
Smartphone Connectivity
While the Envision connects to your smartphone via a dedicated app to fully unlock its AR features, Unistellar ensures that the binoculars deliver exceptional optical performance even without the AR functionality. This makes them an excellent choice for traditional binocular use as well.
A Game-Changer in Optics
Unistellar markets the Envision as a game-changing product, combining state-of-the-art AR technology with premium optics at a competitive price. Although specific technical details remain undisclosed, an upcoming crowdfunding campaign promises to provide more information.
It's crucial to note that crowdfunding campaigns carry inherent risks. However, Unistellar's strong track record, including the successful delivery of the eVscope smart telescope and positive reviews of previous products, boosts confidence in the Envision campaign.
