Innovation grants could help build a moon base, block food-borne illness, and map the brain

A new way of seeing, a new way of computing

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

Holographic displays offer a glimpse into an immersive future
