Bye, Bye, Blurry

Posted by Koko



I usually don't post news about all the advancements in tech or photography, but this one is truly groundbreaking. Like the dawn of digital photos groundbreaking.

A small startup company called Lytro is developing a consumer level "light field" camera. What these cameras do is instead of just recording the light from a scene onto a digital sensor, it takes the light, separates it, and records its color, intensity and direction. This allows the photo to be refocused on any subject after it has been shot. That's the kind of thing you only see done in sci-fi, until now. Also, extremely low-light photos will be able to be manipulated with unprecedented control.

This tech has actually been in existance for a while but in no way was it afordable to the general public nor able to be fitted inside a consumer device.

Definitely a game changer for the industry and a threat to professionals. When this becomes standard in all cameras, no photo will ever be permanently blurry again.
