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.
