Holographic near-eye displays have the potential to overcome many long-standing challenges for virtual and augmented reality (VR/AR) systems; they can reproduce full 3D depth cues, improve power efficiency, enable compact display systems, and correct for optical aberrations. Despite these remarkable benefits, this technology has been held back from widespread usage due to the limited image quality achieved by traditional holographic displays, the slow algorithms for computer-generated holography (CGH), and current bulky optical setups. Here, we review recent advances in CGH that utilize artificial intelligence (AI) techniques to solve these challenges.
