Technically interesting next step via Facebook. Still apparently in early stages.
Facebook Reveals Holographic Optics for Thin, Light VR Headsets
VentureBeat
Jeremy Horwitz
Facebook has unveiled a holographic optical framework for thinner, lighter virtual reality (VR) headsets, which it expects to be incorporated within high-performance devices for VR and augmented reality. The "pancake optics" system combines thin layers of holographic film with a laser projection system and directional backlights, in order to project either flat imagery or volumetric holograms. The optical system can range from 11 millimeters to less than 9 millimeters thick, while each prototype eye display has a resolution of about 1,200 by 1,600 pixels, with a field of view that is either a 93-degree circle or a 92-by-69-degree rectangle. The researchers said the device is not ready for near-term deployment. .. "
