Paul Debevec experiments with light fields

Google senior research Paul Debevec has published a blog post detailing his experiments with Light Fields, which are capable of capturing environments in such a way that the user can move through space and see convincing parallax movement in VR. To capture information the team created a rig based on 16 Go Pro cameras that can produce an environment in which the user can move their heads freely within a 70cm sphere.
