Light Field Display

Light field displays aim to create immersive 3D viewing experiences by capturing and reproducing the light rays from a scene, eliminating the need for special glasses. Current research focuses on efficient rendering techniques, leveraging advancements in radiance field representations like neural radiance fields and 3D Gaussian splatting, and developing novel compression algorithms based on deep learning models (e.g., convolutional autoencoders, deep belief networks) and techniques like 4D discrete cosine transforms to reduce the substantial data requirements of high-resolution, high dynamic range light fields. These improvements are crucial for enabling real-time rendering and broader adoption of light field displays in applications ranging from augmented and mixed reality to entertainment.
