Technologies
Spatial Imaging explores the technologies that enable the capture, processing, storage, transmission, and display of three-dimensional visual information. This section provides technical introductions, practical workflows, and historical background for both established and emerging imaging systems.
Stereoscopic Imaging
The principles of binocular vision, stereo photography, stereoscopic cinema, and modern 3D production workflows.
Spatial Video
Capture, encode, and distribute immersive video for Apple Vision Pro and other next-generation spatial computing platforms.
VR180
An overview of VR180 cameras, projection formats, metadata, production techniques, and distribution workflows.
Digital Holography
The science and engineering of holography, from classical optical holograms to digitally generated holograms and computational reconstruction.
Computational Photography
Image formation techniques that combine optics with software, including depth estimation, image reconstruction, and computational imaging.
Gaussian Splatting
Modern real-time scene reconstruction using 3D Gaussian representations for immersive visualization and rendering.
Volumetric Capture
Technologies for capturing people, objects, and environments as fully three-dimensional representations.
Spatial Displays
Autostereoscopic displays, light field displays, holographic displays, and other technologies for presenting three-dimensional imagery without conventional head-mounted displays.
Computer Vision
Algorithms for image analysis, feature detection, camera calibration, depth estimation, and three-dimensional reconstruction.
Image Processing
Filtering, color management, HDR imaging, geometric transformations, optical correction, compression, and restoration techniques.
Optical Engineering
Camera systems, lenses, projection optics, laser illumination, diffraction, and optical components used in advanced imaging systems.
Digital Preservation
Long-term storage and preservation of digital media using professional workflows, archival formats, and LTO tape technology.
New technologies and workflows are added continuously as the field of spatial imaging evolves.
