With the help of augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) systems, users can receive
information and connect with each other via near-eye displays (NEDs). However, several …

A growing number of virtual reality devices now include eye tracking technology, which can
facilitate oculomotor and cognitive research in VR and enable use cases like foveated …

We present a virtual reality display that is capable of generating a dense collection of
depth/focal planes. This is achieved by driving a focus-tunable lens to sweep a range of …

Virtual, augmented, and mixed reality (VR/AR/MR) technologies offer the promise of
seamlessly blending the real and the virtual worlds, thereby enabling many exciting …

Augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) smart glasses require breakthroughs in
displays and optics. In the liquid crystal field, recent progress shows promising results for …

A growing number of virtual reality devices now include eye tracking technology, which can
facilitate oculomotor and cognitive research in VR and enable use cases like foveated …

In this dissertation, a novel approach to a liquid crystal electro-optical device for light beam
steering is examined. The proposed apparatus, so called" FFS-PPD", with fast switching …

A device includes a first-type liquid crystal (LC) lens configured to provide a first optical
power that is variable in a first step resolution. The device also includes a second-type LC …

The goal of three-dimensional (3D) displays is to recreate reality by satisfying all perceptual
cues used by the human visual system. While many perceptual cues can be replicated by …

A varifocal system comprises a stacked first-type liquid crystal (LC) lens structure and a
stacked second-type LC lens structure in optical series. The stacked first-type LC lens …
