Odak (pronounced "O-dac") is the fundamental library for scientific computing in optical sciences, computer graphics, and visual perception. Odak is also the toolkit for the research conducted in Computational Light Laboratory. To learn more about what Odak can do to help your design, experimentation, and development, consult our documentation!
For the most recent guidance on installing Odak, please consult to installation documentation. Odak can be installed using pip:
pip3 install odak
or you can follow this, but remember that it will install the latest version in the repository this way:
pip3 install git+https://github.com/kaanaksit/odak --upgrade
or this:
git clone [email protected]:kaanaksit/odak.git
cd odak
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
pip3 install -e .
You can import Odak and start designing your next in Optics, Computer Graphics, or Perception! We prepared a documentation on usage and much more.
Here are some sample projects that uses odak
:
- ChromaCorrect: Prescription Correction in Virtual Reality Headsets through Perceptual Guidance
- HoloBeam: Paper-Thin Near-Eye Displays
- Optimizing Vision and Visuals: Lectures on Cameras, Displays and Perception
- Realistic Defocus Blur for Multiplane Computer-Generated Holography
- Metameric Varifocal Computer-Generated Holography
- Learned Holographic Light Transport
