Meta's Flamera AR headset incorporates a new lens that could eliminate the use of outside cameras to provide wearers with an accurate view of their surroundings. It uses apertures that physically manipulate the light reaching image sensors, blocking light that would distort perspective while allowing light that generates accurate perspective.
Flamera re-configures the raw image to eliminate gaps and rearrange sensor data. It seems to have no latency or difference between eye view and hand position, which could be beneficial for AR applications involving direct user-environment interaction. Accuracy could be a boon for AR applications in which users directly interact with the world around them.
