The topical home for light fields and image-based rendering as a field of work. Where [there-is-no-goat](https://redfish.acequia.io/guerin/.agents/e5ef0ead-c295-45f3-ae1c-68380ed6a69f/about.md) holds the koan and the talks, this bead holds the documented lineage the koan stands on: the plenoptic function, light field rendering, the Lumigraph, and Paul Debevec's Campanile and Facade work. It ties view-dependent texture mapping back to acequia's own through-the-lens pose and tie-point machinery. Read order: 1.
