With its state-of-the-art Augmented Reality Precision Orientation System, ENVISION dynamically overlays valuable contextual information directly into your natural optical field of view. Whether you’re navigating trails, identifying peaks, exploring springs, or stargazing at night, ENVISION enriches your experience with a wealth of data, all accessible both online and offline. During the day, ENVISION serves as your intuitive outdoor guide, seamlessly integrating environmental information to enhance your exploration. Imagine walking through a forest and instantly knowing the types of trees around you, the history of the land, and the best trails to take. As night falls, stargazing enthusiasts can effortlessly navigate the cosmos. ENVISION turns the night sky into a familiar map, allowing you to identify stars, planets, galaxies, and nebulae with the ease of a seasoned astronomer.
This advanced, user-friendly technology allows you to switch between different modes effortlessly, discovering new dimensions in your adventures. Looking through ENVISION’s lenses feels like having an interactive map overlaying reality, making your perception of the environment clearer and more detailed. You can ask the app to guide you to specific points of interest, or let it suggest locations based on your current whereabouts and time. This feature ensures you never miss out on hidden gems, whether they are natural wonders or celestial phenomena. ENVISION offers a unique feature that allows you to lock onto a target and share the exact view with friends. When you hand over the binoculars, they are precisely guided to the same point of interest, ensuring a shared, immersive experience. For those seeking detailed information, the Advanced Compass Mode displays real-time altitude and azimuth in your line of sight, while the Detailed Information mode provides in-depth details about the objects you focus on, from their history to their scientific significance.
With a magnification power of x10 and an AR battery life of five hours or up to 1000 binocular engagements per charge, ENVISION is built to last through your longest adventures. It includes information on over 1,000 astronomical targets, such as star clusters, nebulae, galaxies, and comets. For example, point it at the Moon, and ENVISION will highlight where the Apollo lunar module Eagle landed in 1969, along with other significant lunar landmarks. Stay connected and updated with ENVISION’s dedicated app, compatible with both iOS and Android devices. This ensures an up-to-date database and regular app updates, so you always have the latest information at your fingertips. Experience the future of exploration with features that continuously evolve and improve, all at no extra cost, ensuring your binoculars remain state-of-the-art.
ENVISION boasts high-quality optics developed in collaboration with Nikon. Using premium lenses and prisms, it delivers sharp, clear views, coupled with an advanced AR projection system. This system projects contextual information onto the optical path, blending AR data seamlessly with your real-world view. The high-luminance, high-contrast projection system ensures that information remains visible even in varying lighting conditions. Field of View Fusion technology enhances this experience by projecting AR on one eyepiece while the brain fuses the data from both eyes, creating a seamless and immersive AR experience. Equipped with GPS and inertial measurement units (IMUs), ENVISION accesses your phone’s GPS position and uses IMUs to ensure precise positioning and low-drift orientation. This is achieved by integrating data from gyroscopes, gravity, and the Earth’s magnetic field.
With real-time data processing, ENVISION connects via Bluetooth to your phone, feeding topographic and cartographic data into the system. This allows for accurate AR overlay based on your location and viewing direction. The extensive map database connected to ENVISION contains billions of topographic nodes and millions of cartographic items, including natural and celestial features. Whether online or offline, ENVISION ensures information is available in remote locations by allowing you to pre-download maps of your destination, ensuring you stay informed no matter where your adventure takes you.
