Lytro announces Immerge VR syste

[vlado]

i appreciate wanting to keep things "rendering only"... however ignoring VR, if i understand this tech (which i dont) it would allow full rendered navigable environments to be created? which can be displayed on modest hardware at high framerates... this has uses way beyond VR, and seems like an extremely powerful way of using a rendering engine. it also seems that "in-render-engine" is the only place it belongs?

I don't think this has anything to do with the render engine that is used to produce the light field data.

Best regards,
Vlado
