Benefits • thin

• lightweight

• immersive (wide fields of view)

• comfortable - addresses accommodation-

convergence conflict

- approximates retinal defocus cues

- no need for corrective eyewear

Limitations • reduced spatial resolution - high-resolution or tiled microdisplays

- careful microlens array selection

• requires larger microdisplays

• requires user calibration

Real-Time Ray Tracing for Near-Eye Light Field Displays

• Implemented in NVIDIA OptiX SDK 3.0.0

• Added support for quad-buffered stereo

• Renders 1280×720 rays per eye (simulating 13×7 off-axis perspectives)

• Runs at 30 – 60 frames per second (GeForce GTX TITAN)

• Implemented interactive calibration to compensate for optical aberrations
