Description:
This Immersive Pavilion installation introduces our new system for capturing, reconstructing, compressing, and rendering light field video content. By leveraging DeepView, a recently introduced view synthesis algorithm, our system can reconstruct challenging scenes with view-dependent reflections, semi-transparent surfaces, and near-field objects as close as 34 cm to the surface of our 46 camera capture rig. Improving upon past light field video systems that required specialized storage and graphics hardware for playback, our compressed videos can be rendered in a web browser or on mobile VR headsets while being streamed over a gigabit network connection. This makes ours the first system to encode high quality light field video at sufficiently low bandwidth for internet streaming.
