Lytro revolutionized photography with pictures of the living- Lytro , an American company founded by Ren Ng, promises to revolutionize the world of photography with a new type of camera that is preparing to make its market debut later this year. What, according to the developers, will enable this revolution is the ability to acquire the so-called living pictures .
To date, a subject to photograph or film a scene, you need to focus on a point or area of the frame before proceeding to the next step. Once acquired, the digital image can be altered using a photo editing program, but the focus , if wrong in the first instance, makes almost always unrecoverable photography.
With the living pictures of Lytro this problem does not subsist any more. The revolutionary device, it will be able to record, thanks to a special sensor , each photon of light from all points of the imaging field. All of this information, managed by algorithms developed ad hoc, allowing users to have a living image , whose focus can be changed at a later stage.
The idea of developing a system of living pictures came to Ren Ng on his doctorate at Stanford, some years ago, and now, thanks to substantial funding from companies and institutions who believed in his project, the revolutionary device is coming on the market.
The premise seems very interesting and the image test , outlined below, can not but draw our attention at the moment, however, there remain doubts about the effectiveness of a system of this type. You just have to wait several months before the revolution begins.
