The German-based startup K|Lens, which promised to provide the ability for any camera to shoot light field images, has canceled its Kickstarter that raised $225,422.
A German-based startup named K|Lens is set to launch an ambitious new camera lens that the company claims is the first to bring 3D light field depth mapping to any full-frame camera.
Back in 2011, Lytro launched the world’s first consumer light field camera, which lets you “shoot first …
One of (if not the) main challenges Lytro faces as it attempts to bring light field photography into the mainstream is the fact that there aren't a lot of places you can actually experience the 'living' images where they're, to use Lytro's vernacular, alive.
Most places just don't support viewing of the interactive images, and while Lytro has taken some steps to remedy this in the past, the company just took what amounts to a giant leap.
The light field photography market may soon get a little more crowded and competitive according to an exciting Sony patent that promises to not simply copy, but improve upon the technology made famous by Lytro.
Lytro recently created a fascinating documentary to show off the capabilities of its new Illum camera.
By teaming up with five different photographers, all from different styles of work, the company was able to capture how this new approach to photography can be used to turn a photograph into something more... an experience.
