AR/VR systems utilize two main optical sensing architectures. One to map the room where the system is being operated, typically with time-of-flight (ToF). The other to track the user’s eyes. Critical metrics of success in developing a high-performance headset include compact form factor and minimal weight. Meta-optics can reduce the size and weight of imaging systems and reduce the form factor of illumination systems, leading to a more immersive user experience.
