Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this research, we realized a new active 3D sensing using aerial imaging. We have shown the occlusion-robust sensing system configuration utilizing the special light field, in which aerial luminous spots can be formed by focusing rays of light from multiple directions. We also realized new user interface applications using this occlusion-robust sensing advantages.
