New Approach to 3D Shown at SIGGRAPH

SIGGRAPH 2011 Technical Paper:
G. Wetzstein, D. Lanman, W. Heidrich, R. Raskar. Layered 3D: Tomographic Image Synthesis for Attenuation-based Light Field and High Dynamic Range Displays. Proc. of SIGGRAPH 2011 (ACM Transactions on Graphics 30, 4), 2011.

Abstract:
This method optimizes auto-multiscopic displays composed of compact volumes of light-attenuating material. Inexpensively fabricated by stacking transparencies, the attenuators recreate a light field when illuminated by a backlight. Tomographic optimization resolves inconsistencies between views, leading to brighter, higher-resolution 3D displays with extended depth of field and improved dynamic range.
