There are many fields where light field can be utilized. For example it is utilized in microscopy [1] and for vision based robot control [2]. Which additional applications do you know?
Thank you in advance!

I found additional interesting applications:
Material identification [1], depth estimation in scattering medium [2], velocimetry [3], to study complex three-dimensional engine in-cylinder flame processes [4], as biomedicine tools such as otoscope [5].

Any more?
Hi,
there exists an institute at Johannes Kepler University Linz, where the head of the institute is Oliver Bimber. An excellent reseacher in the light field domain. Have a look here:

Materials science (optical/x-ray diffraction, UV excitation, high power laser for metal/materials processing, etc.)
Astronomy (spectroscopy for planetary chemistry, microwave telescope, gravitation wave detection - a giant interferometer, etc.)
Semiconductor (microlithography, optoelectronics - heterojunction - emitter and detector technologies - SiC, GaN, Si, InGaAs, GaAs, etc.)
Imaging (phase contrast, cross-polarized, thermal imaging, hyperspectral, fluorescence, coherence Raman, second and third harmonic generation, optical coherence tomography - conventional, Doppler, polarization sensitive, optoacoustic tomography, molecular imaging, etc.)
Consumer electronics and automotive (CD/DVD reader, OLED/LED flat screen, lighting, etc.)
Biomedical research (tissue optics, laser ablation dynamics, coagulation, thermal lensing, etc.)
Medical devices in all areas of medicine
Imaging processing (spatial frequency deconvolution, spectral deconvolution, segmentation, pattern recognition, etc.)
I lost count, way too many cool fields that have to do with light........
