1. A near-eye display system to display an image to a user comprising:
an image source to provide light;
a modulation stack to output light via a first light path and a second light path, the first light path and the second light path having different light path lengths, the light path lengths modulated by a digital signal;
an imaging assembly to display a plurality of image portions at a plurality of virtual object distances, from the light output by the modulation stack;
a binocular elements display subsystem to provide binocular elements, the binocular elements display subsystem providing a second plurality of image portions at the plurality of virtual object distances for display to a second eye; and
an auxiliary data system to receive external data and use the external data to adjust the virtual object distance of one or more image elements;
the near-eye display system configured to provide a binocular display providing vergence distance cues to create a realistic three-dimensional image.
