Much less clever, but I had a microwave with far too opaque a grid to look through. By shaking my head left and right, it would sort of disappear though. The funny thing is how automatic these human things are. I didn't notice I was doing it until someone asked me why I was shaking my head at the microwave.

I think that's more of a ocular SLAM kind of thing for depth mapping

This also works when trying to focus on a distant object through a screened window.
