It is a sort of geometric optics approximation as I understand, otherwise it was an electromagnetic or quantum field. It looks more for entertainment than for research purposes.

Give him a little credit. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Debevec https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Debevec It's a better approximation than you can make with a normal camera, so its applications are even broader. Instead of a normal camera image which captures the position of focused light rays on a plane, this captures the position and direction of light rays as they move through a volume. Personally I would not call such a versatile instrument useless.
