Do you need a VR headset or Holographic display to view a Lightfield or will these work on say, an ipad?

Would it be possible to use the ipad like a VR headset, in that you can move around the lightfield by turning around on the spot?

We have tested it as a texture on a mesh plane, so it is possible. Our focus is mainly on getting this working in VR with position tracking. Once that is done, we will work on other use cases including the one you mentioned.

Sorry to be a pain but It would be great to have an idea (even if very rough) of when lighfields will be available as I (and many other for sure) would like to use it for my client's work. Cheers

We're targeting the timeframe when PC VF devices launch commercially.
