US Patent 11009721 Light field processor system

A wearable ophthalmic device is disclosed. The device may include an outward facing head-mounted light field camera to receive light from a user's surroundings and to generate numerical light field image data. The device may also include a light field processor to generate modified numerical light field image data by computationally introducing an amount of optical power to the numerical light field image data based on a viewing distance from the user to an object. The device may also include a head-mounted light field display to generate a physical light field corresponding to the modified numerical light field image data.
