“Lightfield and hologram capture started with a big theoretical idea 115 years ago and we have struggled to make them viable ever since. Neural Radiance fields aka NeRF along with gaming computers now for the first time provide a promising easy and low cost way for everybody to capture and display lightfields.”

“Neural Radiance fields (NeRF) recently had its third birthday but the technology is just the latest answer to a question people have been chasing since the 1860s: How do you capture and recreate space (from images)?”

 

“The plenoptic function measures physical light properties at every point in space and it describes how light transport occurs throughout a 3D volume.”
