Lytro effect - computationally impossible?

[Slazzo]

...said it could be useful for speeding up renders with 3d dof and motion blur as well as soft/area shadows but reducing the sample rate (some how) then using the light field info to clean up noise or something mathematically magic like that.

Seems that in result you get an interpolated\approximated image, could be fine for stills but animation :/

In nowadays (I guess as it was before) seems that users wants faster renders but in the same time expect unbiased quality, noise free and easy to set-up, how an interpolated algorithm will suit user demands, faster? - maybe yes! better? - I don't know, but it's good to have an option.

Seems like you can probably buy the cameras but the fact that you have to contact them for a price makes it seem like they would cost more than I would like to spend on one.

Those cameeras you posted are too accurate for our kind of work anyway. The accuracy is 0.2mm and the setup shows it taking a 3d photo of a circuit board...

I want one of these tbh.... large scale landscape 3d scanners. 75g's though.

I've got three of these in my shed....not.

Get a Faro instead. Way cheaper:

I just bought myself another new camera for my summer vacation. It was a Fuji compact ca,era that has 2 lenses and takes 3D pictures. The screen on the back allows you to see the 3D pictures without glasses using a very high quality lenticular display. I can also plug it into my 3DTV at home. Pretty cool. Its not going to replace my 'proper' stills cameras, but only cost me about £140 or so.

I've had the Fuji WD 3D for a few years now as well as the first one they put out a year or two before that. I have and have had a fair number of 3d cameras and rigs and the Fuji is by far the easiest and most fun. Not perfect for all situations but over all really good for a point and shoot 3d camera. It's my overall favorite 3d camera so far.

Not too accurate for my kind of work and play. I think the 0.2mm accuracy is just specific setups since it looks like you can get it with mounts for regular camera lenses. So in different configurations it should have different accuracy. I would also hope it would be less than 75g's too. Though I doubt the light field type camera would be anywhere near as good as that scanner for doing landscapes and such.

I've been more interested in light field cameras for capturing smaller detail stuff for textures and things where some 3d info for a displacement map is all I need. Also the refocusing and stereo 3d stuff is an added plus. That is if I could get with cheap enough with good/easy software for extracting the info I want from the light field data.
