Tech Crumb…Capturing Moments in Hyper-Realism: The Lytro Camera

Over 15 years ago, Stanford University created the first light field camera by using a super computer tethered to numerous cameras, all capturing various directions and angles of light. Now, the same product is available in a pocket-sized form for the average consumer! Lytro is the world’s first camera that has the ability to capture all light rays and their directions in any given scene, a function that no other camera has yet been able to accomplish. 

Light sensors measure a scene in four dimensions, producing a photo that appears just as it is seen in person and with amazing depth and quality. A definite addition to our (post) Christmas wishlist!
