"They become interactive, living pictures," Mr. Ng said
Lytro, a start-up with plans to produce an innovative camera that lets you take pictures first, then focus later. Click the pictures to see it for yourself. And click on the back- and foreground and see the subtle differences in focus.
Mr. Ng describes the camera like its a super computer with an advanced light capture system. Death to the shutter lag! I’ve seen a handful of missed moments simply waiting for my camera to focus.
Mr. Ng calls it a “picture revolution”, while I like to think of it differently. It’s more like “choose your own adventure” if you will. There’s a whimsical aspect of picture taking, where you relinquish control of the focal point, and all you have to do is capture the image and resolution. Eventually you’re letting your viewer decide what they want to see.
I just reserved mine.
