1. A system for simulation of environmental energy comprising:
an energy-directing system comprising;
an energy-source system configured to provide energy to a plurality of energy locations and comprising a plurality of energy sources;
an array of energy directing elements configured to direct energy from the plurality of energy locations along a plurality of outbound propagation paths wherein each outbound propagation path extends through one the energy locations; and
wherein each energy directing element is configured to direct energy from the plurality of energy locations through the energy directing element along the plurality of outbound propagation paths wherein each outbound propagation path extends from the energy directing element in a unique direction determined at least by one of the plurality of energy locations;
a control system in communication with an energy-sensing device and configured to operate the plurality of energy sources to direct energy through the array of energy directing elements along the plurality of outbound propagation paths to project a reconfigured 4D energy field from the energy-directing system wherein the reconfigured 4D energy field is determined by a 4D energy field described by a plurality of inbound propagation paths measured at the energy-sensing device.
