Via @aescripts are reports of experiments in Plenoptic lens rendering by Adobe, which lets you change depth of field focus in post. It would be great in After Effects and video too, of course (go wish), though now there's only 1 shipping camera system, the Raytrix 4D lightfield camera.John Nack posted on this tech in 2005, Plenoptic Cameras: [whistle type=low & appreciative], and there's more background in a CNET article from 2008, Stanford camera chip can see in 3D. Laptop mag seems to have done the lead reporting on this item from a recent nVidia conference (video below); they note that there's much more on focus and other aspects of this technology at Adobe researcher Teodor Georgiev’s web site.
Very interesting article, I have just written about the Plenoptic Lens and how it could change the future of photography.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you found the Laptop Mag article too.
ReplyDeleteBTW, the article says "Written by Heather Buckley – 27.09.10." The stealth link from your profile name to Silicon Beach training isn't good PR.
