Meta-lens works in the visible spectrum, sees smaller than a wavelength of light
Sara Mautino's insight:
""Correcting for chromatic spread over the visible spectrum in an efficient way, with a single flat optical element, was until now out of reach," said Bernard Kress, Partner Optical Architect at Microsoft, who was not part of the research. "The Capasso group's metalens developments enable the integration of broadband imaging systems in a very compact form, allowing for next generations of optical sub-systems addressing effectively stringent weight, size, power and cost issues, such as the ones required for high performance AR/VR wearable displays."

"And that was largely my limit—after about 20 minutes, I might not feel sick, but my eyes and brain needed a break" “ it’s a concern for widespread adoption, saying simulator sickness is “one of the biggest challenges” that the VR community needs to solve” [Evan Suma, research assistant professor at the University of Southern California’s Institute for Creative Technologies who studies VR]

"The headline feature is a new Si-OLED (silicon-based Organic Light Emitting Diode) 720p display, replacing the qHD TFT LCD display of its predecessor and projecting sharper images and more vibrant colors in front of your eyes. These new glasses are also 20 percent lighter than the BT-200 models they're replacing, which should make for a more comfortable wearing experience over longer periods of time. Oh, and the device can take photos and videos too, thanks to an integrated 5-megapixel camera (another upgrade over the BT-200)."

"When Google introduced its Google Glass smart glasses four years ago, it turned to Glass-sporting sky divers buzzing a San Francisco convention center, Glass-adorned models at a glitzy fashion show and a Twitter campaign to notify early "Glass Explorers" of their luck in snagging a pair. This year, when Microsoft showed off an early edition of its HoloLens augmented-reality goggles, it took the opposite approach: targeting the software developers it needs to make the device useful. No stunts. No fashion spreads. No consumer marketing at all."
