Abstract
Methods and apparatus are described that enable augmented or virtual reality based on a light field. A geometric proxy of a mobile device such as a smart phone is used during the process of inserting a virtual object from the light field into the real world images being acquired. For example, a mobile device includes a processor and a camera coupled to the processor. The processor is configured to define a view-dependent geometric proxy, record images with the camera to produce recorded frames and, based on the view-dependent geometric proxy, render the recorded frames with an inserted light field virtual object.
