Lytro announces Immerge VR system

Lytro announced Immerge, a light field capture and playback system that provides VR experiences with six degrees of freedom, built for seamlessly blending live action and CG. Immerge captures a light field volume, allowing virtual views to be generated from any point, facing any direction, with any field of view.

Lytro Immerge is comprised of four main components:

• Camera: configurable dense Light Field camera array
• Server: storage and processing
• Light Field Editor: integrates with existing visual effects tools like Nuke
• Player: light Field video playback engine for VR headsets and platforms

Immerge offers the following capabilities:

• Precise visual perspectives from any (supported) point of view
• Seamless capture that requires no stitching
• Capture once, playback on any device (optimized for highend headsets, but works with mobile)
• Accurate horizontal and vertical parallax
• Depth information in every frame
• Supports any interocular baseline after capture
• Highly configurable based on production (e.g., 360°, 180°, parallax, spherical, etc.)
