Hey Mark !
Welcome back !
Very interesting. This camera seems to use some other kind of technology?
Doesn't seem to be Plenoptic ?
'Realtime image processing for refocus, focal surface and 3D perspective'.
The graph they provide tells an interesting story also:
"Effective resolution against refocus depth. The units depend on the lens setting":
- 3MP effective resolution at the Focus plane (standard camera better);
- looks like about 0.5MP 'closer to the camera' ('units depend on the lens setting') but still better than plenoptic and a standard camera;
(Lens 100mm, focussed at 450mm aperture f/9.5 pixel size 0.009mm).
- non-mechanical operation;
- all info captured in one shot.
Wonder what this means for astro photography ?
Cheers & Thanks for that interesting info, Mark.
PS: Wonder what they cost ?
