The EOS R3's Eye Control system works on a similar principle to the one used in the late 90's and early 2000s, but isn't really trying to select individual, discrete AF points To me, Eye Control has always been some great 'what if,' that inevitably gets mentioned when camera geeks of a certain age spent too much time together. dpreview.com »

I think it's pretty safe to say that Canon has all the ultra wide zoom lenses that they could possibly need, but we also have to keep in mind that once the dust settles and the lens start production, they are hard at work on the Mark II variant of the lens.
There's always the feeling I get when the amount of patent applications start to reach a tempo that perhaps it's a sign that Canon is about to do something. Mind you, Canon has trolled me in the past with this, so anything is possible.
About 3 years ago Canon showed off a prototype of a posture fit device that would recognize when you were slouching and generally having bad posture while sitting at your desk. It would then remind you to correct your posture.
In this patent application (2024-052498) Canon discusses replacing the gel filter at the back of a dual fisheye lens with something a little more robust and user-friendly. As you may know, the Canon RF 5.
In this patent application (2024-052503), Canon is looking at providing autofocus for dual lenses, such as the Canon RF5. 2mm f/2. 8L Dual Fisheye lens. The current dual fisheye lens is manual focus only, so this would be a step in the right direction.
