Abstract
A near-eye optical device includes a transparent layer, an in-field illuminator, and a diffractive optical element (DOE). The in-field illuminator is configured to emit near-infrared light centered around a first wavelength. The diffractive optical element is configured to be illuminated by the near-infrared light emitted by the in-field illuminator. The DOE generates a structured light projection that includes dots that expand as the structured light projection propagates farther from the DOE. The structured light projection is directed to illuminate an eyebox.
