The prototype uses a Canon EOS R10 with a Dual Pixel CMOS sensor, which allows every pixel to participate in phase detection.

For more than a century, photographers have had to choose which part of a scene should be tack sharp and which parts would blur away. A new generation of optics and algorithms is quietly rewriting ...

Building upon years of research by Stanford University, and with a PhD thesis and five further years of research in hand, Ren Ng has finally launched the infinite-focus, light field photography ...

Researchers used inkjet printing to create a multispectral version of a light field camera, which fits in the palm of the hand. The 3D camera could be useful for applications such as autonomous ...

A novel mixed light field technique that utilizes a mix of ray-controlled ambient lighting with projection mapping (PM) to obtain PM in bright surroundings has been developed by scientists. This ...

Lytro, after admitting that its overly expensive, low-resolution light field camera was merely a "novelty," has announced its new Illum camera. The Illum is much larger than its predecessor, packing a ...

There’s plenty of online chatter going on right now about camera maker Lytro and their new light field camera. Photo-savvy folks are excited to hear about the camera’s ability to capture images ...

Using 3D printing and porous silicon, researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have developed compact, visible wavelength achromats that are essential for miniaturized and ...

Physicists have developed a lens with 'magic' properties. Ultra-thin, it can transform infrared light into visible light by halving the wavelength of incident light. Lenses are the most widely used ...
