Abstract:
Apparatus and methods for a light-field camera and display system. In one embodiment, a light-field camera and display apparatus is provided, which may include a display screen and photosensor layer. In one variant, the display screen includes a plurality of pinholes or microlenses and a plurality of pixels configured according to a certain configuration. Additionally, in one variant, the photosensor layer includes multiple arrays of photosensors implemented to capture light that travels through the pinholes or microlenses. Yet additionally, methods for operating and calibrating the light-field camera and display apparatus are provided. In one embodiment, logic is provided which subtracts leakage light from the generated image that is displayed to the user.
