Prof. Mark Brongersma et al describe an off-axis metasurface architecture that uses low-aspect-ratio, low-refractive- index, dielectric elements to enable low-cost large-area manufacturing and reduced optical path volume for folded optical systems, such as AR/VR imaging devices.

Prof. Gordon Wetzstein et al introduce the first attention-aware model of contrast sensitivity with foveated graphics, which is a promising approach to solving the bandwidth challenges of immersive virtual and augmented reality displays by exploiting the falloff in spatial acuity in the periphery of the visual field.
