more than two years ago, i read about eric’s first encounter with a light field plenoptic camera, and was fascinated by the very idea.
today, i saw a presentation by dave story from adobe (video at the end of the article), in which he talks about their development of a lens that has very similar functions and (i believe) is based on the same principle.
of course, adobe also has the proper photoshop-tools that make it possible to deal with the new load of digital information.
