Simulating Human Vision and Correcting Visual Aberrations with Computational Light Field Displays

This talk will present research on simulating human vision and on correcting visual aberrations with computational light field displays . The simulation is not an abstract model but incorporates real measurements of a particular individual’s entire optical system. Using these measurements, synthetics images are generated. This process modifies input images to simulate the appearance of the scene for the individual. Recent work on vision-correcting displays will also be briefly introduced. Given the measurements of the optical aberrations of a user’s eye, a vision correcting display will present a transformed image that when viewed by this individual will appear in sharp focus. This could impact computer monitors, laptops, tablets, and mobile phones. Vision correction could be provided in some cases where spectacles are ineffective
