Devices, methods and systems related to an adjustable polarization filter assembly are described that can be implemented as part of an eyewear or another viewing device to provide the ability to tune the polarization of light that is received based on user and environmental inputs. One example device includes a first rotatable polarization filter that is configured to change a polarization of the incident light, and a second rotatable polarization filter that is also configured to rotate and modify a polarization of light that is incident thereon. The two filters together, via rotation of the first and the second filters, can block any eigenpolarization state on a Poincaré sphere and transmit an orthogonal polarization state. The described devices provide improved viewing capability in different environmental conditions, such as under water, in haze or fog, in outdoor and indoor environments, and in day and night times.
