Pixellated Optics, a class of optical devices which preserve phase front continuity only over small sub areas of the device, allow for a range of uses that would not otherwise be possible. One potential use is as Low Vision Aids (LVAs), where they ar... Read More about Design, manufacture, and evaluation of prototype telescope windows for use in low-vision aids.

ChromaBlur: Rendering Chromatic Eye Aberration Improves Accommodation and Realism (2017)
Journal Article
Cholewiak, S. A., Love, G. D., Srinivasan, P. P., Ng, R., & Banks, M. S. (2017). ChromaBlur: Rendering Chromatic Eye Aberration Improves Accommodation and Realism. ACM Transactions on Graphics, 36(6), Article 210. https://doi.org/10.1145/3130800.3130815

Computer-graphics engineers and vision scientists want to generate images that reproduce realistic depth-dependent blur. Current rendering algorithms take into account scene geometry, aperture size, and focal distance, and they produce photorealistic...

Focus-tunable and fixed lenses and stereoscopic 3D displays (Conference Presentation) (2017)
Conference Proceeding
Banks, M. S., Johnson, P., Kim, J., Koulieris, G. A., Drettakis, G., & Gordon, L. (2017). Focus-tunable and fixed lenses and stereoscopic 3D displays (Conference Presentation). In L. Chien (Ed.), Proceedings SPIE 10125, Emerging Liquid Crystal Technologies XII. https://doi.org/10.1117/12.2257371

Stereoscopic 3D (S3D) displays provide an enhanced sense of depth by sending different images to the two eyes. But these displays do not reproduce focus cues (blur and accommodation) correctly. Specifically, the eyes must accommodate to the display s... Read More about Focus-tunable and fixed lenses and stereoscopic 3D displays (Conference Presentation).

Varifocal virtuality: a novel optical layout for near-eye display (2017)
Conference Proceeding
Aksit, K., Ng, R., Banks, M. S., Love, G. D., Lopes, W., Kim, J., …Srinivasan, P. (2017). Varifocal virtuality: a novel optical layout for near-eye display. In SIGGRAPH '17 Special Interest Group on Computer Graphics and Interactive Techniques Conference, Los Angeles, CA, USA, July 30-August 03, 2017. https://doi.org/10.1145/3084822.3084829

Augmented reality (AR) has recently gained momentum in the form of a variety of available optical see-through near-eye displays (NEDs) such as the Meta 2and the Microsoft Hololens. These devices are a big step forward towards Sutherland's vision of a... Read More about Varifocal virtuality: a novel optical layout for near-eye display.
