Almost all of the available cameras tend to freeze a certain layer of light surrounding the object being clicked, taking away life from the picture. Photography enthusiasts who have been waiting to preserve every moment like it’s just happening can take a look at the newly unveiled Lytro light field camera unveiled on the official Lytro blog.
With no extra buttons or flash, this newly introduced product is said to capture the light field while clicking pictures. This adds a new dimension to the picture, suffusing a new lease of life into frozen memories. Chipped together in a lab at Stanford University, the concept of this camera was the focus of its founder Ren Ng’s PhD dissertation.
Thanks to its ability to replicate all the light available around the object, the camera produces realistic images. Users need not worry about the elements such as focus as they can simply capture an image and later modify it as per their needs. This means that they can easily fiddle with other aspects after freezing a moment. Furthermore, co-founder and general partner of Marc Andreessen elucidated on his blog that the device can be employed for clicking images with a 3D tinge as well.
Anticipated to launch later in the year, the Lytro light field camera is supposed to come with a price tag in the range of $1 to $10,000.
