A '''light field''' is a volume of light treated as a set of [[ray]]s, where each ray has a magnitude and angle. A light field is the set of light rays flowing through a point, surface or volume from every direction. It approximately represents how light travels in physical space from a [[ray optics]] perspective. It is also known as a radiance field.
