So this means I can throw away my beloved DSC-R1 camera, buy the camera of the future, just point and click and use software to create the final image?
Okay, I dunno if im crazy, but if were able to capture the field of light, ...and lets say this technology goes video, wouldnt this open the door to some kind of better 3rd dimension....or maybe 4D? I mean, what if we could film using the field of light, the footage would be some kind of virtual world........or lets explain this another way... say Google Earth would integrate light of field technology we could be anywhere on the planet and have control over perspective and focus and everything
I don't want to be negative about this, since it is amazing, but the claim that an unfocused image is being 'refocused' isn't entirely accurate. The pixel data of the focused image is still present, it's just that the light beam is either ahead of or behind the focal point, so the camera has the ability to shift depths of field. You can't take a fuzzy photo from the 1800s and make it 'HD'. The idea that you could do something like that stems from CSI type shows - Zoom in, enhance! etc.
he's right. I'm a scientist, I realize this. It has to be on images taken on this camera, and only for focal points captured within the light field sensors
Just stumbled across this vid while looking up a new field of light camera that was announced and surprise, surprise. It looks like this upload was waaaaay ahead of its time. The research came together as a consumer level product/ company called Lytro. Its went from really fascinating research to my new photographic toy. Granted it isn't priced out of the reach of regular human beings.
i hope they have the ability for uprezzing photographs so that you would be able to convert photographs from say the 1800's to hd quality and notice all sorts of tiny details
nice. thanx for that.

@dalriada This is correct for 2D-images. But not for Light-Fields.

The PDF on the Stanford website shows that it's just a normal camera with (a) special lens(s).
