A light field morpher, as described herein, provides a computationally efficient system and method for image-based three-dimensional morphing and texture transfer of 3D objects by morphing light fields or lumigraphs, associated with source and target 3D objects. The systemmethod allows a source TID to select a target TID by the use of a Target Telephone Identifier data string rather than a traditional numeric telephone identification. In another embodiment, an axial force generating mechanism can include a torsion spring, a traction ring adapted to receive the torsion spring, and a roller cage retainer configured to cooperate with the traction ring to house the torsion spring. The base unit further includes at least one solar panel facing into the interior of the object, and one or more batteries charged by the solar panel to power the light emitter.
