Our collaborative research with Tokyo Institute of Technology, University of Otago, Osaka University, and Wakayama University on a new optical see-through near-eye display has been featured by Japanese online media. This system shows a virtual image not by adding light but by subtracting light by using a phase-only spatial light modulator. This study has been presented at IEEE VR 2019 and recognized as one of 11 Read more
