The conceptual 'BINO' mixed reality device has been designed by Joon-Yeol Bae as a solution for children to use as a way to explore the world around them for an immersive, entertaining and educational experience.
The device functions as a mixed reality (MR) headset, a set of smart binoculars and a projector when positioned on an accompanying dock. The binoculars can be used for capturing photos and videos, identifying items in the surrounding environment thanks to artificial intelligence (AI) connectivity, and much more.
The conceptual 'BINO' mixed reality device identifies how educational and entertainment solutions for children can be combined to keep them immersed in the experience. The device could also encourage children to get out in the environment on a regular basis rather than staying indoors on conventional tablets, PCs and smartphones.
