1. A metalens, comprising:
a first region of nanostructures that directs a field of view (FOV) of light incident on the first region of nanostructures to a first region of an image plane; and
a second region of nanostructures that directs the FOV of light incident on the second region of nanostructures to a second region of the image plane, the second region of the image plane being different from the first region of the image plane, wherein the first region of nanostructures is arranged to be adjacent to the second region of nanostructures.
