Abstract: Systems and methods and computer program products for processing three-dimensional (3D) graphics are provided. A method includes receiving 3D geometry data for a shape to be rendered to a display that comprises an array of hogels, the shape defined in a model space. The method can further include reducing downstream processing of the 3D geometry data to render the shape to the display, comprising identifying a subset of hogels in a hogel plane that have hogel bowtie frustums that intersect the shape.

Abstract: An image rendering method comprises receiving 3D model data for a 3D model and processing the 3D model data to render image data for a hogel view to a render target. Processing the 3D model data to render the image data comprises defining a frustum having an origin at an image plane and rendering multiple sides of the frustum in a single pass without duplicating geometric shapes that pass through the image plane. The frustum comprises a plurality of side planes and having a top portion of the frustum and a bottom portion of the frustum, the plurality of side planes having a set of side plane edges that pass through the origin.

Abstract: A light-field display with pixel to micro-lens spatial alignment adapted color or brightness. In one embodiment, a first pixel is read from memory. A map is accessed to read a first index that is mapped to a first position of a first emitter in an array of emitters. A first correction data mapped to the first index is read. The first pixel is adjusted using the first correction data. The first emitter emits light based on the adjusted first pixel.
