We use that content to train a very big neural network. On the platform, a lot of people are uploading 3D stereo content to post publicly to their followers. During the demo, we also showed you Holopix, which is our picture-sharing app. It does this by reconstructing the light field from very sparse kind of information and recreating the missing point of view to the best of its ability.Īside from movies, we are also able to do this with simple 2D pictures. Using our software at Leia, you can actually hallucinate the missing point of view. The movie Coco that you saw was actually already filmed in 3D stereo, side by side, so it has two views. You’ll pick up the subtle variations of the lighting that make a texture look like a texture, that makes metal look like metal, that makes skin look like skin, that makes diamonds look sparkly, and so on and so forth.ĬHARLIE FINK: Would it work for any 2D video from old black and white films to modern movies?ĭAVID FATTAL: Yes. Since the real world is in 3D, you will also pick up depth. They will be picking up the correct information, as if it was coming from the real world. Essentially, what you experience now when you see a Lightfield display is your two eyes picking up different information. Leia, Inc.ĬHARLIE FINK: So the re-imaging is what makes it seem three-dimensional?ĬHARLIE FINK: Is that because the colors create different lengths of light?ĭAVID FATTAL: Yes. If the window was able to re-emit these light rays, that would be a Lightfield display. Now imagine that, similar to a camera, the window will capture all of the light rays coming in from outside. This can best be explained by imagining you have a window in front of you. That's really the color part of the light field capture, and now you can even re-render the light field from a flat surface. Now, the Lightfield display is going to break that down into different zones, sending you different colors and information from different angles. In a normal display, one pixel is going to emit the same information for all viewers so they're seeing the same content at a given pixel. Now, with Lightfield technology, you can have a display that is able to, from a given pixel, give you different colors and different intensities of light from different directions of space. Up to very recently, you didn't have the opportunity to actually re-render these light rays. Imagine you have this very fancy camera that captures light rays from different directions on different pixels. But obviously it's very asymmetric, and you know, once you’ve captured your light fields, you want to be able to render them, right? So far, we talked about light fields capture, and that's what popularized Lightfield as a medium. Then, I can tell you why you see things in 3D. Before I answer that question, we have to understand what the Lightfield display is and what is coming out of the screen. Does Leia do that to all 2D content, or was it specific to a product like Coco, because it was made with 3D, even though its presentation format is typically 2D?ĭAVID FATTAL: So that's the question of the data format. When I saw the video on your display, even though it was a 2D movie, it appeared to be a 3D movie. So we can make a very, very narrow field of view, for privacy, or you can make a very wide field of view, and anything in between.ĬHARLIE FINK: The demo of Leia I saw was the Disney movie, Coco, which is a 2D movie, although it was made using 3D techniques, playing on a tablet, which is I assume is a reference design for an OEM. We have full control over these parameters. I want you to imagine a forest of light rays, and we can control exactly where each beam or ray comes from - which direction, and from which kind of angular width. CHARLIE FINK: What are the fields of view that it has at the present time?ĭAVID FATTAL: The field of view is entirely configurable.
