any general technique that can encode 3D information on a 2D surface This isn't 3D information on a 2D surface. If anything it is 2D information on a 3D surfac

  The video shows that it projects a 3D surface as if it was storing volumetric information.

    It isn't projecting a 3D surface (I'm not sure that even makes sense in this context) and it isn't storing volumetric information. It is just using refraction to make brighter and darker areas in its shadow/caustics to make an image. The paper is 10 years old at this point and linked by this article. https://rgl.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/media/papers/Papas2011Goal.pdf https://rgl.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/media/papers/Papas... https://nishitalab.org/user/egaku/tog14/yue-continuous-caustics-lens.pdf https://nishitalab.org/user/egaku/tog14/yue-continuous-caust... I think once you read the papers you will realize that the only thing 3D is the surface of the lens and that is only so it can get curves and angles for the refraction.
