The light field is a vector function that describes the amount of light flowing in every direction through every point in space. It is represented by the five-dimensional plenoptic function, with each ray's magnitude determined by its radiance. Modern approaches to light-field display aim to improve resolution, contrast, and field of view through optical element design and compressive computation. The term "radiance field" is also used in related research such as neural radiance fields.
