Future of Adobe Photoshop Demo - GPU Technology Conference

http://www.netbooknews.com/9917/future-of-adobe-photoshop-demo-gpu-technology... There was alot going on during the Day 1 Keynote at Nvidia's GPU conference, as far as consumer are concerned there was one significant demo. The demo involved Adobe showing off a technology being developed using a plenoptic lens aka one of those lenses that looks like a bug eye. By attaching a number of small lenses to a camera, users can take a picture that looks, at first, like something an insect might see which, each displaying a small part of the entire picture. Using an algorithm Adobe invented, the multitudes of little images can be resolved into a single photo. The possibilities are endless on how you can manipulate the photo. 2D image are made 3D & they can adjust the focal point in real time so the background comes into focus and the subject blurry. Fingers crossed this gets into Adobe CS6 or CS7.

It's about time and anyway what's so special about it? Hey, we're in 2010 not in 1991. You're at least 15 years late.

@2933034 isn't 91 about 19 years ago? I am pretty sure this was even possible in 2000 nor 2005, 06, 07, 08 or 09 but of course you can prove me wrong ;)

Ah - the wonderful light-field technology... the CCD density for consumer cameras is many years away, but when they happen, we'll all be able to focus the image in-camera, and get rid of the costly focussing hardware in the digi-cams we've got at the moment.

Not only that, but lightfield technology can be used to create 3D images of the scene!

it is magic...

wow, just wow

Integral imaging. Invented 100 years ago.

eclipse is running :P

@2933034 Only with today or few year old GPUs it is possible to do this with this realtime performance :)

If memory serves, I remember seeing a very crude version of this in a Stanford paper from about a decade ago. Instead of an insect-eye lens, however, they used a 2D array of cheap cameras. Something similar was also shown in another Stanford paper titled "Light Field Photography".

@2933034 you are a fucking snatch

Interesting for photography. I would like to see this move over in to video and film and see some stuff shot on a RED camera.
