“We’ve spent the last two years custom-building LYTRO ILLUM to advance Light Field Photography to a whole new level,” CEO of Lytro Jason Rosenthal stated on a blog post. “We outfitted this camera with a completely novel hardware array and unprecedented computational power, both within the camera itself and through a brand-new accompanying software platform.”
Rosenthal believes that with this revolutionary imaging technology, Lytro can make a difference in the 175-year history of photography. Lytro Illum will go up for sale at $1600 USD.
