Multi-Functional Metafilms for Augmented Reality

Abstract

The human vision system exhibits remarkable properties. For example, it can distinguish over 10 million colors and operate effectively over a luminance range of 1014.There are, however, many applications that require capabilities that surpass what humans can see with the naked eye. For example, seeing in darkness or foggy conditions or spotting of objects emitting/scattering light with specific spectral or polarization properties require enhanced vision. For this reason, enhanced vision devices and specialty cameras are essential tools in defense, law enforcement and first responder scenarios. Currently, these devices tend to be very bulky and do not meet the size, weight, and power (SWaP) requirements that are desirable for wearables.
