Meet the Stealthy Start-Up That Aims to Sharpen Focus of Entire Camera Industry
The Mountain View company aims to bring out a camera later this year, using a new sensor that offers a number of advantages over traditional photography, including the ability to refocus a picture after it is taken. Revolutionizing the industry won't be easy, but the company has raised $50 million in financing over the past several years to finance its ambitious goal.

Seems to be a brilliant bit of technology, but I fear the increase in the amount of 'professional photography' that comes with the introduction of this camera to the general population...

He certainly has managed to get through in the media anyway
I've been reading about this camera/technology everywhere for the last couple of days.
I don't think it will catch on if he is only going to produce cameras himself, instead of licensing the technology. And choosing a p&s as the first camera is probably not such a good idea neither? Most p&s photos are sharp all the way from quite close to far away already.
I shoot mostly with fisheye and ultra-wide (7-14mm on 4/3), so I rarely get any "nice bokeh" anyway ... -
No fricking way!!!
Thats is brilliant but I agree with Bjornkn, he needs to licence the tech to the major companies.
-
Nice tech indeed. And, he got great publicity!

Sorry mate, did not see it.

No worries.
Sarcastic ribbing is all.Here is the link I posted in the other thread - http://techcrunch.com/2011/06/21/lytro-launches-to-transform-photography-with-50m-in-venture-funds-tctv/

I hope Apple buys Lytro.

But I don't buy this. All these companies better find a way to produce sensors up to 32 bits and stop joking. -
I wounder how much of the technology must be licensed by Adobe, and others in order to be included in products like photoshop?
As far as licensing, do any of you watch "Shark Tank"? There seems to be a question by developers whether, or not to license. Some want to control the development of their product, and choose to forgo licensing, at least for a while.
