A near-eye display and a binocular near-eye display system provide a plurality of different views of a multiview image to different locations within an eye box to impart focus depth cues to a user. The near-eye display includes a multibeam element-based display configured to provide the different views and an optical system configured to relay the different views to the different locations within the eye box. The binocular near-eye display system includes a pair of the multibeam element-based displays and a binocular optical system configured to provide and relay a pair of multiview images as a stereoscopic image pair representing a three-dimensional (3D) scene to a corresponding pair of laterally displaced eye boxes.
