Abstract
A system, method, and computer program product are provided for producing images for a near-eye light field display. A ray defined by a pixel of a microdisplay and an optical apparatus of a near-eye light field display device is identified and the ray is intersected with a two-dimensional virtual display plane to generate map coordinates corresponding to the pixel. A color for the pixel is computed based on the map coordinates. The optical apparatus of the near-eye light field display device may, for example, be a microlens of a microlens array positioned between a viewer and an emissive microdisplay or a pinlight of a pinlight array positioned behind a transmissive microdisplay relative to the viewer.
