You just gotta check out the website for this new little piece of tech gear. It is called the Lytro. It is a small light field camera that captures many layers of depth in one snapshot. The Lytro allows both the picture taker and the viewer to focus pictures AFTER they're snapped, shift their perspective of the scene, and even switch seamlessly between 2D and 3D views. This is amazing stuff! Go to the Lytro website and mess around with the sample photos in the picture gallery. It is very cool. The image will actually focus on whatever you click on. If you select an object in the foreground... the photo will blur everything else at appropriate levels. Technology that once required a room lined with cameras tethered to a supercomputer... can now be achieved with one camera with multiple micro-lenses. Absolutely amazing new technology.
