A light field is the set of light rays flowing through a surface or volume from every direction. It approximately represents how light travels in physical space, from a [[ray optics]] perspective.

A light field can be represented using a [[plenoptic function]], which is a 5 dimensional function. A partial light field can be represented in 4 dimensions using the [[two-plane method]].<ref name="k782">{{cite conference | last=Gortler | first=Steven J. | last2=Grzeszczuk | first2=Radek | last3=Szeliski | first3=Richard | last4=Cohen | first4=Michael F. | title=The lumigraph | publisher=ACM | date=1996 | isbn=978-0-89791-746-9 | doi=10.1145/237170.237200 | page=43–54}}</ref> That can result in a 4-dimensional function. However, it may be limited in focal depth.
