Plenopticon: video playback for dynamically adaptive depth-of-field

Plenopticon is a system for video playback with dynamically adaptive depth of field, a technique allowing viewer control of the on-screen area of focus via a secondary input device such as a touchscreen or eyetracking device. Lightfield cameras allow still photographs to be re-focused once an image has been taken. This system is intended to showcase the potential of plenoptic video and provide insights into how storytelling techniques and novel interactive narrative experiences might be configured using this emerging technology.
