This just looks like really cool tech! No stereoscopic trickery, it’s true depth of field that allows your eye (or a camera, as shown in the video) to mechanically focus on different objects at different distances within the same displayed scene. The display itself seems to be real and working, although not yet integrated into any production devices.
I always thought light-field cameras were a fascinating idea, so it’s exciting to see the same tech coming back in the other direction. Makes me wonder if some of the original patents from that first time around might have expired, actually.
The initial use-case for opticians is pretty cool- it might end up being a lot more efficient than the old glasses-with-interchangeable-lenses approach, though I do wonder if it's possible to...
The initial use-case for opticians is pretty cool- it might end up being a lot more efficient than the old glasses-with-interchangeable-lenses approach, though I do wonder if it's possible to approach diagnosing issues such as astigmatism? Either way, it's a neat sell that might fund further development, and hopefully one day this sort of tech will be available in wearables (perhaps some that even look normal?).
