Abstract
A virtual reality (VR) head mounted display (HMD) includes a light field camera on an outside surface of the HMD facing away from the wearer. Light rays and intensity captured by the light field camera is communicated to a console that identifies a virtual position of the light field camera based on a relative position of the light field camera to the user's eye when wearing the HMD. Based on the virtual position, the console selects rays of light captured by the light field camera projected to intersect a field of view of the light field camera if located at the virtual position. From the selected rays and corresponding intensities, the console generates one or more images representing the environment surrounding the HMD, providing a representation of portions of the environment surrounding the HMD visible from the position of the user's eye.
