Canon Launches Mixed Reality System

<< < (2/2)

Great. So...they can design a new product with fewer cycles of physical prototypes.  Wonderful.  Except...that doesn't seem to be the bottleneck.  The 1D X was announced in final design form 8 months ago, and still isn't available.  The lag from design lock and announcement was even longer for the new 500/600 supertele lenses.  Unless Canon's new mixed reality system can alleviate production bottlenecks, it seems like a solution wandering around in search of a problem.

Wilmark:
The question on my mind is "will it blend?"

I think it is clear that this was NOT used by Canon on the 1D X... everything in red in the above quote is exactly what we are seeing with the 1D X. Or maybe the 1D X felt so real in their virtual world that they forgot it wasn't built yet  ;D
