This is one of those Oh my !

This link should go to the short interview. I'm just about to watch full interview.... if my little brain can handle it.

Hey, great clip.

"fixing focus"... gotta have it

So what if you want to get a normal picture out of this eventually? I'm guessing that there's a resolution loss of roughly 100 times or more? (X*0.1 and Y*0.1)

Wow, the micro lens array thing could do wonders for Image Based Rendering.

Arthurio: Depends on your definition of normal picture. For computer only viewing, there's no point in having 70M pixels images. Images just need to match the screen's actual resolution.

Great interview. Thanks for sharing it NoJive.

The problem is that you need a 70MP camera to make this technology usable.
Those pictures they showed were nothing near the resolution of the screen. I'm guessing there's a reason for that.
