This paper demonstrates holographic virtual and augmented reality near-eye displays offering full-color, high-contrast, and high-resolution images with per-pixel focal control. An optical correction capability fixes defects in the display and the user's vision, enabling eyeglasses-like displays with wide fields of view. Real-time calculation is provided.

Focal surface displays place a phase-modulation element between the eyepiece and screen to address vergence-accommodation conflict in HMDs. This element acts as a dynamic freeform lens, shaping focal surfaces to the scene. Benefits are demonstrated using a prototype employing an LCOS panel and an OLED display.

This paper introduces a new VR/AR display technology, dubbed accommodation-invariant (AI) near-eye displays. AI displays produce visual stimuli that are invariant to the accommodation state of the eye. Accommodation is then driven by stereoscopic cues, and the mismatch between vergence and accommodation state of the eyes is reduced.
