A light-field display aims to render the perception of a 3D scene by reproducing the geometric light rays apparently emitted by the 3D scene in different directions. It is potentially capable of delivering a visual experience that is natural and comfortable, and overcomes the well-known vergence-accommodation conflicts that plaque conventional stereoscopic 3D (S3D) displays. In this seminar, Hua will review the different optical architectures of light-field displays and focus particularly on the recent development of head-mounted light-field displays (LF-HMDs).
