Unistellar Endoscopy can tell you the mountain you look at

Not every day I try a completely new type of technical products. Telescope Company Unitllar He recently gave me the opportunity to do this with imagineThe first smart perspectives can identify mountains and stars. The only things like them on the market Swarovski smart perspectivesBut these are three times the price strictly for birds and wildlife.

At an event near Marseille, I tried a preliminary model with design and most functional functions He marketed it on the Cake Starter And raised $ 2.7 million). Some of the features were somewhat rough and required the use of endoscopes smoothly. But it is an interesting mix of analog and digital technology that must be successful with astronomers and travelers.

This design initially came out of a conversation between the non -local engineers wondering why there are no endoscopes with an AR digital blanket. Soon they discovered: It was a tremendous geometric challenge. The combination of all the data was in an overlapping and getting lined with the visual display in particular. Reducing cumin was another problem, so that the digital screen would not fail to the visual display.

The company finally reached a solution to its borrowing from the AR Tech. The Envision combines the distinct lenses with a reinforced reality display system that brings context information in the visual path through the bright and high -contrast microdisplay. This overlap appears only in one eye, but your mind turns it into a complete picture.

Design perspectives take data from self -insufficiency and compass sensors using a dedicated program to ensure microbiology and directing the low transition “for the digital screen. Then pulling topographical and destroyed information from a large database and merged it on the AR overlap based on your site and viewing. This information comes from your phone connection, but the endoscopy can also be used in non -connection mode also if you download specific areas submitted.

I have tested a first manual designer model that lacks the quality monitoring of full manufacturing. However, materials, optics and electronics were almost complete. For the test during the day, I went to Citadelle de Forcalcquier This provides panoramic views of the mountain ranges in the region. Although remote peaks of up to 30 miles were cloudy and rainy, they are still visible.

Although the heaviest is a little heavier than regular endoscopy, this design was comfortable to keep and use a clock thanks to the rubber coating and high -quality plastic materials. To use this design, you have prepared it as any pair of perspectives do. They have a Diopter modification for your specific vision and you can pull samples for use with glasses. There is a display to suit your eyes and a concentration wheel to sharpen the scene.

With all this group, there is a rock control on the left side that allows the AR overload, which consists of monochrome red graphics such as the game of the old school. The previous/following buttons allow you to switch between the goals, which you can then determine by pressing the “Health Check” button.

The last button, “Target Lock”, does two things. Click it once exactly, and lock on the target. Then, if you pass the endoscopes to another person, they will be guided by arrows to the same object. And to correct any erosion that inevitably occurs, you can press the target lock button and keep the endoscopes even align the overlap and visual vision. Finally, edit the button and everything is re -delivered.

As a regular laparoscope, give me a clear vision of distant things. I turned on AR and waited a few seconds until my eyes were adjusted. When looking at the mountain horizon, perceptions overcome a red scheme that matches the terrain, while displaying the names of the peaks and domains in the lower center of the screen, along with its heights and the distance from the scenes. It was half an inch or so of the real world width, so I used the target lock control to align it completely.

The cumin was not bad, but if you move the endoscopes very quickly, it took it again or so to catch up with the follow -up. After scanning across the horizon several times, the overlap will be drifted from synchronization again, so you need to use the targeted lock to reorganize the views again. UNISTELLAR told me that both cumin and imbalance should improve with the final production.

Currently, only expenses can be determined by mountain peaks, valleys and domains. In issuing production and through future updates, it will determine things such as waterfalls, shelters, long -distance walking paths, rivers and lakes. Companion application will provide updates, the program also allows the user to determine attention points, access the geographical database and receive guided tours. Unfortunately, none of these features were available in the initial model you used.

The next test was to discover stars using Night’s Night. Fortunately, I did not need to go largely (the hotel pool) as the clouds covering the sky for most of the day were separated by chance to give us the grammatical stars.

To experience the stars, the perceptions were transformative. With the preparation of the microscopic optics that were prepared as before, the AR show immediately displays the names of the individual stars, associated with each other in their towers in the lines. For example, he referred to Lynx, a faint constellation with the naked eye, along with its fourth star Alysseat IV (31 Lyncis). The final version of the endoscopy will also display nebula, galaxies, planets, satellites, comets, asteroids, and even human interest points such as the International Space Station (ISS) and Apollo’s landing sites.

This can make a visualization of a distinct educational tool. You can lock the star, then give perspectives to someone else and they can quickly locate the same body by following the arrows. They will also see any constellation it is part of it. It will only take a few nights of stars for someone to learn a lot about the sky of the night.

At the same time, it is a great way for ambitious astronomers to scan interesting goals to study with a more powerful telescope. I did so completely, using a conception of the home on the group of stars. With the name of the name clearly, I dumped it in the Smart Odyssey Pro Unistellar and quickly saw it with larger and more clear width. On the contrary, you will be able to enter the star’s name in the unitllar application and direct it to the Envision, in the final production version.

The connected has some problems. If you are already suffering from a problem in seeing it through perspectives, it may not be for you. It can be difficult to read at times, and brightness control (especially for night display) can be a challenge. One missing feature is a built -in camera like those on Swarovski perspectives. It was a little disappointing, as you cannot easily share your experience on social media. The only way to do this is to take pictures using your smartphone through the lens. This effectively requires you to lock the endoscopy on Traibood, which defeats the purpose of the perspectives.

With what is said, I think the first unitllar rift in Smart Endoscopy was successful, even in its incomplete form. They add a media element to a real visual view, and finally they bring perspectives, which have been around for hundreds of years, at the age of information.

Like any early product (think in the smart watch), it must significantly improve in future versions. Yes, there are smartphones applications that can identify stars and geographical features. But there is something about looking at the lens and seeing a real uninterrupted image. And with Envision, you will finally know what you see.

UNISTELLAR open pre -orders for Smart Pinoculars that start today at $ 999, which is a highly slope of the final retail price of $ 1,499, with a delivery for October 2026. This is very far, but if you are ready to wait, the Unitllar has an ideal tracking record. The availability of retail is far from 2027.
