However, instead of displaying multiple images on separate panels and carefully aligning them — a tedious and time - consuming process — the researchers create the illusion of depth from a single image by altering
the polarization of the light passing through the display.

He set up his experiment to measure spin angular momentum
of photons in high vacuum, with measurements based on the rotation
of a two - inch diameter wave plate — a device that can alter the
polarization state
of light passing through it.
This is because the region
of the Milky Way scientists
passed through on its way to Earth is thought to be incredibly dense — a region that should have thrown up a lot
of magnetic interference and changed the
polarization of its
light.
