I hope this makes it into next gen VR.

Harvard researchers have created a new lens material that is thinner than glass
It's made up of microscopic nanopillars arranged in a thin array to focus light
It focuses light very precisely to avoid blur, which can happen with glass lenses
The material could lead to less bulky lenses in cameras, phones and glasses
'Traditional lenses for microscopes and camera - including those in cell phones and laptops — require multiple curved lenses to correct chromatic aberrations, which adds weight, thickness and complexity.
'Our new breakthrough flat metalens has built-in chromatic aberrations corrections so that a single lens is required.'
The researchers used titanium dioxide to create the nanopillar array.
I hope this makes it into next gen VR.
