Claim 0:
1. A scene encoder system comprising:
an input path configured to receive a request for scene data of a scene;
a communication path configured to access a storage medium organized in one or more of a spatially-sorted, hierarchical, and multi-resolution manner containing data representing one or more light fields in the scene;
a processor configured to:
determine responsive data in the storage medium related to the request, wherein the determining comprises identifying a portion of the data representing a first light field in the scene responsive to the request and identifying additional data representing a second light field in the scene that is subject to a future request,
extract the portion of the data from the storage medium,
determine whether to output the additional data, and
when the processor has determined the system should output the additional data, extract the additional data; and

an output path configured to transmit one or more of the extracted portion of the data and the extracted additional data.
