Electronic imaging device and method of electronically rendering a wavefront

An electronic wavefront device comprising:

• a controller configured to provide a wavefront rendering signal;
• two wavefront rendering elements coupled to said controller and configured to produce a holographic wavefront on a respective plane of the wavefront rendering elements in response to the wavefront rendering signal, wherein the holographic wavefront on the respective plane is configured to reproduce an incoming wavefront that would otherwise be incident on the respective plane if an object or scene being reproduced from the incoming wavefront were actually in front of the respective wavefront rendering element, wherein the holographic wavefront further comprises an image that corresponds to a virtual image of the object or scene, that if the object or scene existed, would appear as if at a given distance in front of the wavefront plane of the respective wavefront rendering element, further in response to being viewed at a second distance, from an opposite side of the wavefront plane of the respective wavefront rendering element;
• and
• a frame, wherein the two wavefront rendering elements are coupled to the frame in a manner adapted to position the wavefront plane of each of the two wavefront rendering elements at the second distance in front of an observer's eyes.
