Experimental results (IMAGE) Optica Caption The researchers used their new lens to create a benchtop augmented reality system. The images show the lens sub-elements shifted laterally -5 mm, 0 mm and 5 mm and then imaged at different depths. No matter the imaging depth, the virtual image showed the same in-and-out of focus effect as the real 3D objects.
