Could it take augmented reality (AR) headsets to the next level?
For now, the lab version has an anemic field of view - just 11.7 degrees in the lab, far smaller than a Magic Leap 2 or even a Microsoft HoloLens.
But Stanford's Computational Imaging Lab has an entire page with visual aid after visual aid that suggests it could be onto something special: a thinner stack of holographic components that could nearly fit into standard glasses frames, and be trained to project realistic, full-color, moving 3D images that appear at varying depths.
