Of Holograms and Light Fields

Leia comes to Display Week with a new approach for naked-eye 3D displays No conference on display technology is complete without some mention of holographic or some other variety of volumetric displays and Display Week had its share of these. Unfortunately, most of these displays are very unconvincing and suffer from problems ranging from low brightness to an inability to produce an opaque image. One of the more promising techniques for producing full 3D volume images is light field rendering. It’s over twenty years now since Marc Levoy and Leonard MacMillan competed to be the first to develop the science
