Unclonable human-invisible machine vision markers leveraging the omnidirectional chiral Bragg diffraction of cholesteric spherical reflectors

Cholesteric Spherical Reflectors (CSRs) are omnidirectional retroreflectors that are selective in circular polarization and wavelength, enabling human-invisible fiducial markers for applications in robotics, augmented reality, anti-counterfeiting, circular economy and more
