Abstract
What if your mobile phone’s display would correct your vision deficiency instead
of your glasses? Light field display technology can assess and correct the user’s
vision. In this talk, we discuss a wide range of unconventional applications that are
facilitated by light field technology, a novel inexpensive computational display
technology. Light field displays are expected to be “the future of 3D displays”,
although many believe that the recent hype about stereoscopic 3D displays is over. One
reason why the consumers haven’t widely adopted 3D television can be the lack of a
unique or useful enhancement of the 2D viewing experience. Wetzstein discusses why it is
believed that a new technology - light field displays - delivering an
experience that consumers haven’t adopted in the past will work in the future. The talk
begins with a short historical review of light field displays and recent trends towards
compressive light field display, followed by a discussion of applications in projection
systems, vision assessment and correction, wearable displays, and a brief comparison to
holography. Article not available.
