This work presents the first single-lens wide-field-of-view (FOV) light field (LF) camera. Shown below is a pan through a 138°, 72-MPix LF captured using the optical prototype. Shifting the virtual camera position over a circular trajectory during the pan reveals the parallax information in the LF. There is no complex post-processing or alignment between fields, this is the raw light field as measured by the camera.

Both wide-FOV and LF capture have been shown to simplify and enhance a range of tasks in computer vision, and we expect their combination to find application spanning autonomous vehicles, virtual and augmented reality capture, and robotics in general.
