A figure wearing holographic displays glasses, a chip on the leg of the eyeglasses beaming colored light onto the inside of the lens of the glasses. — Researchers at Princeton and Meta have created a tiny optical device that makes holographic images larger and clearer. Small enough to fit on a pair of eyeglasses, the device could enable a new kind of immersive virtual reality display. Illustration by Liz Sabol, photo by Nathan Matsuda

Felix Heide is working to improve the imaging and computer vision capabilities of sensors for autonomous vehicles. Panels show a street scene in heavy snow using a standard vehicle imaging system (left), and the output of ZeroScatter (right), a technique developed by Heide’s team that improves image quality and reveals objects at long distances, such as the house at the end of the road.
