A New Way to Take & Experience Pictures
The Lytro Light Field Camera represents the most significant shift in photography since the transition from film to digital.
The device records all of the
light falling on its sensor without running it through processes such as
colour balancing or sharpening and these can be applied later on a
computer.
Similarly, by recording the
light field passing through many tiny micro-lenses in the Lytro, the
action of merging these to create a single flat image can be applied as a
post-production effect.
"Light field photography was
once only possible with 100 cameras tethered to a supercomputer in a
lab," the BBC quoted Ng as saying.
According to the company,
Lytro's image sensor is capable of capturing 11 megarays of data,
whereas the feature of producing 3D images will be added at a later
date. (Text :ANI)
