Impressive.

It'll be cool when they start producing those lenses with a single piece of glass and you can pick one up at Target for $99.

I guess for the refocusing effect you wouldn't need that special lens, just take a series of photos at different focus points and the tool they designed would then merge them into one image, much like an HDR image. Taking the exact focus distance from the camera would allow to accurately place the pixels in 3D space. Right....?

I don't know

Since the image has more than normal data, ..the way I see the tool working is by simply exchanging pixels. But it doesn't just swap out in-focus for out-of-focus pixels or vice versa, ... but uses a gradient since there's a range of data available. I'm guessing with so many images compressed into a single file, ... one can expect a fairly large file size -- I'm guessing way more than a standard HDR of similar resolution.

wow.... Impressive.... Now we need that multi focus in Maxwell camera !

Like the multilight !... MultiFocus.... hehe

[Bubbaloo]

Realtime focus... Put it in the wishlist!

interesting and impressive

I'm not feeling it... I was hoping for a bigger capability of 3d movement... but I was expecting exactly what I saw... after all the picture is still taken from one single angle.

Now, Make that 3d lens a fish eye capable of doing qtvr photos... A multi focus, 360 degree, 3D environment! I would be the first one to kill for one!
