Multimodal perception is crucial for developing perceptual intelligence. Conventional multimodal sensing devices have limitations in device volume, the field of view, resolution, and imaging speed. Meta-devices, a new class of optical components, offer significant potential to revolutionize perception by manipulating light through nano-antennas. Our research demonstrates that meta-lenses can be used to integrate multiple perception modalities into a single compact device, with applications in robotics, autonomous vehicles, and mixed reality. Integrating meta-lens into perception systems could transform the field by providing low-cost, compact solutions for capturing information about the world in multiple ways.
