Virtualized reality: constructing virtual worlds from real scenes
TLDR
In this paper, a new visual medium, Virtualized Reality, immerses viewers in a virtual reconstruction of real-world events, which consists of real images and depth information computed from these images.Abstract:
A new visual medium, Virtualized Reality, immerses viewers in a virtual reconstruction of real-world events. The Virtualized Reality world model consists of real images and depth information computed from these images. Stereoscopic reconstructions provide a sense of complete immersion, and users can select their own viewpoints at view time, independent of the actual camera positions used to capture the event.read more

Light field rendering
Marc Levoy,Pat Hanrahan +1 more
TL;DR: This paper describes a sampled representation for light fields that allows for both efficient creation and display of inward and outward looking views, and describes a compression system that is able to compress the light fields generated by more than a factor of 100:1 with very little loss of fidelity.
