05. Lightfield Technologies

At this point, we have talked a bit about the displays currently used in VR and AR headsets.
And while they are really good at delivering pretty powerful experiences already, they still have a few problems that need to be solved such as getting a higher resolution per eye and larger field of view.
One upcoming technology that could help to address some problems with displays are Lightfields.
Conceptually, Lightfields are a mathematical model to represent the intensity and directional movement of light at any given position in a 3D scene.
For this quiz, read this paper published by Professor Gordon Wetzstein from Stanford University on a VR Lightfield Display.

After reading this paper, which of the following statements is true?
SOLUTION:
  • It is possible to use cameras to capture a light field of the real world
  • Light field headsets can support more than 2 displays, given sufficient lighting and computer power.
