Lumigraph

A Lumigraph is a computer graphics technique that captures and represents a real-world scene by storing extensive visual information from multiple viewpoints. Unlike traditional images, it records how light interacts with and reflects off surfaces from various angles, creating a detailed, multi-view graphic. This allows for highly realistic rendering of the scene from new perspectives, enabling dynamic viewing experiences. Think of it as a sophisticated 3D photograph that contains depth and angle information, providing a more lifelike visualization when viewed or manipulated on a computer.
