Researchers at Penn State College of Engineering developed ultrathin optical element known as a metasurface.

It can attach to a camera and encode spectral and polarization data of images captured in a snapshot or video.

A machine learning framework then decodes this multi-dimensional visual information in real-time on a laptop.
