Lytro, from Mountain View California with the help of Mitsubishi Electric Research Labs and Ramesh Raskar from MIT are creating a camera that lets images be adjusted after the shot, and most surprisingly, from however far away in the clearest of details. Ren Ng, who worked on light- field technology for his PhD at Stanford, predicts that "in the future, all cameras will be light-field-based." Further advances in Light- field technology could lead to video cameras that could be focused in on every detail and adjusted after the shot. Another update could result in a 3-D snapshot. I wouldn’t be surprised if we weren’t using this in the next few years, not unlike the rapid dependence of intelligent software assistance or software defined networking from 2009.
