1. An integrated light field display system comprising:
- a first light field display element configured to display a near-field light field segment of a collective light field volume, the collective light field volume comprising a predetermined set of optical performance light field characteristics;
a second light field display element configured to display a far-field light field segment of the collective light field volume; and
a light field processor communicatively coupled to the first and second light field display elements and configured to;
determine, within the collective light field volume, a three-dimensional position of the first light field display element and a three-dimensional position of the second light field display element,determine, based on which light field segment is focused on by a viewer, a modulation transfer function of the first light field display element and a modulation transfer function of the second light field display element; and
modulate at least one of the near-field and far-field light field segments based on at least one of the determined modulation transfer functions.

Abstract
Complementary near-field and far-field light field displays (LFDs) are provided. A distributed LFD system is disclosed in which the light field is cooperatively displayed by a direct view LFD and a near-eye LFD. The two display components of the system work together synchronously to display a high-fidelity 3D experience to one or multiple viewers.
