Light field

Inspired by the dual-focus visual system of a 500-million-year-old trilobite, researchers have created and tested a light field camera with the greatest depth of field ever demonstrated. Everything between 3 cm and 1.7 km from the lens stays sharp.

Researchers at BAE Systems believe that a new type of atmosphere-altering directed energy laser and lens system that may make laser defense shields a real possibility in as little as fifty years from now

Lytro has announced the Immerge system, a four component platform that's billed as the industry's first end-to end hardware, software and related services solution for the production of professional-grade cinematic VR content.

Researchers at the Stanford Computational Imaging Group have been working on a light field stereoscope that greatly improves virtual reality experiences while also reducing motion sickness.

Lytro has revealed its second-generation light field camera, the Illum. With a larger 40-megaray sensor, and a 30-250-mm equivalent zoom lens with a constant F2 aperture, the new shooter is a much more serious affair than its predecessor.

Instead of storing a 3D image in a photographic plate, researchers at Purdue University have developed a novel hologram which stores a 3D image in a thin gold film containing thousands of V-shaped nanoantennas, shrinking the hologram and enabling a host of new applications.

A new holographic projector developed at MIT produces 3D images at 30 frames per second (fps) with a resolution similar to that of a standard-definition TV.

The Lytro camera has gained wireless capabilities, and a new friend in the iPhone, thanks to a functionality-adding firmware update.
