LIGHT-FIELD MIXED REALITY SYSTEM WITH CORRECT MONOCULAR DEPTH CUES TO A VIEWER

Light-field mixed reality system, comprising: a pin-light array generating an incident light-field illuminating an optical light modulator; the optical light modulator being configured for modulating the incident light-field and generating a modulated virtual light-field; and a combiner configured for reflecting the modulated virtual light-field and projecting a projected virtual light-field defining an eye box region along a projection axis; wherein the projected virtual light-field further forms an exit pupil of the pin-light array within the eye box and a virtual image of the optical light modulator, along the projection axis in front of the exit pupil, or behind the exit pupil; and wherein the combiner is further configured for transmitting natural light from the real world towards the eye box, such that both projected virtual light-field and natural light are projected within the eye box.
