Abstract

We developed a bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF) display that reproduces the texture of objects and rays of a light field. Our BRDF display is based on the technology used in integral photography (IP), which was originally investigated for use in 3D displays. An IP display is an ideal method for reproducing a light field in real space. The proposed BRDF display consists of a high-definition panel and a micro lens array, which is the same as in an IP display. The main difference to an IP display is that several optical parameters are optimized for BRDF use. We also describe content creation methods and show some content created using several of these methods.
