    Seems to have a pretty low resolution as of now, but there's surely a lot of room for development. And adobe is doing some similar shizzle if im not mistaken :eek:

    TLDR: it's a camera that records not only the colour of every pixel, but also the direction from which the light ray came. So you can refocus the image however you want using the raw data. Here are some examples: http://www.lytro.com/living-pictures/282

    Oh yeah, I saw this thing announced a few months ago.
    Certainly looks pretty awesome - I'd consider buying one if they were a bit cheaper.
