Abstract
A pixel projection component for projecting a multi-vantage point light-field includes a distal layer with a plurality of apertures disposed therein, each of the plurality of apertures traversing the distal layer between a convex outer surface and a concave inner surface, and an intermediate layer comprising a plurality of light guides, the intermediate layer being mechanically coupled to the distal layer such that a proximal end of each light guide of the plurality of light guides is oriented to accept light transmissions from a corresponding light source and a distal end of each light guide is oriented to transmit the light transmission through a corresponding aperture of the plurality of apertures, such that the light is directed to targeted vantage points corresponding to the corresponding aperture, and causing different light transmissions to be transmitted to different vantage points.
