The FMS contains a high quality 3-CCD color video camera with computer controlled zoom and focus (Sony DXC 950), and a color Triclops trinocular stereo vision system; a microphone array and light sources are also planned.
Light field measurements can be used, for instance, to tabulate the BRDF (bi-directional reflectance distribution function) for rendering or simply to get images. Range measurements are used for building 3D geometric models. Sound fields can be used to build sound synthesis models.
