Light Field Camera

Was an american company founded in 2006 by ren ng which developed light field cameras.

Light field camera. A camera that allowed you to focus after you take the picture. The company was founded in 2017 by jon karafin brendan bevensee and ed ibe with the single mission to enable a holographic future by building upon the founders collective expertise of light field technology innovation. A new light field imaging scheme employing stacks of transparent graphene photodetectors has been demonstrated providing a path to greatly simplify the otherwise complex three dimensional imaging. A light field camera also known as plenoptic camera captures information about the light field emanating from a scene.

A light field camera also called a plenoptic camera is an imaging device that creates pictures that can be refocused after they are taken. A light field camera also known as plenoptic camera captures information about the light field emanating from a scene. That is the intensity of light in a scene and also the direction that the light rays are traveling in space. And sure enough here is the lytro light field camera.

This image from the researchers paper shows how the cameras capture and segment the view. Light field lab is building the world s most innovative holographic ecosystem. When you press the shutter release the camera collects light from all directions. That is the intensity of light in a scene and also the direction that the light rays are traveling in space.

Its subject was lytro a startup promising to make its technology available in a consumer product on the market within a year. This contrasts with a conventional camera which records only light intensity. Lytro began shipping its first generation pocket sized camera capable of refocusing images after being taken in 8 gb and 16 gb versions on february 29 2012. Called light field photography the technology allows the camera to shoot instantly without the need to focus first.

In april 2014 the company announced lytro illum its second generation camera for commercial and experimental photographers. The light field camera uses an array of tiny microlenses typically as was the case in lytro s design between the main lens and the film or image sensor. The effect of high definition video and freedom of movement gives these light field videos a real sense.
