3D Display System Based on Spherical Wave Field Synthesis

Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

The context is well-orgnized，the principle is well-described, and the experiments are persuasive. The whole quality of the manuscript is appropriate for being published in Applied Science. So I have only one comment:

- In the first section, the authors say "As an additional benefit, the LA is a refractive element with very little 56 dispersion, so that the system operates almost wavelength independent and can therefore display colored scenes," However, no experiment shows color images. I'm wondering what hinders the colorful application of this technique?

We thank the reviewer very much for the kind words. He made the following comment:

This is a good point, thank you very much. We didn't show the color performance, although it might be important to some readers. In the updated version, we added a video showing a colored object to the supplementary material and the following sentence (marked in blue in the manuscript):

"The system works in full color, yet we used a monochrome camera to better inspect fine details of the object representation. Interested readers can find a full color video of the display in the supplementary material."

Reviewer 2 Report

A solid paper with in depth understanding of display technology and adaptive optics. Clear math outlining the method employed for the process and outcome achieved.
