A light field camera doesn't work like a webcam (some of which can refocus), or a wide-angle lens with a large depth of field. Using the Lytro (which has an f/2, 8x zoom lens), the field of focus is selectable after taking the picture.

Have a look at the photos in this article to see the effect: 12 'focus later' Lytro photos that will make you look twice
