Hasta La Gadget!

In some ways, augmented reality is an elegant solution to the main problem with VR: while there are some areas where insane levels of immersion are required, this stuff ain’t cheap — relegating solutions like CirculaFloor to academics, the military, and the extremely well-heeled. But how about those who just want to see wild graphics while they, you know, “party?” Canon’s Mixed Reality Aquarium headset transforms any area you inhabit into a giant fishbowl. Not the sort of thing that you’ll want to do more than once, probably — although, to the company’s credit, this is more of a research project than an actual product. How about an option to swim with Daryl Hannah from Splash? That would be pure gadget gold. That said, this does make for a fun video — which we’ve graciously provided for you, after the break.
