It has n’t exactly been a runaway hit with consumers , but on a technical degree theLytro cameraintroduced some bright introduction to the human beings of digital photography . Its revolutionary optics beguile an almost uncounted depth of field let you adjust focus to whatever ’s in the figure when you ’re post - processing . But as researchers from Saarland University in Saarbrücken , Germany , have shew with a new television camera accessory , the Lytro is just the tip of the iceberg .

Alkhazur Manakov ’s KaleidoCamera , which will be formally unveil at theSiggraph conferencenext week in Anaheim , sits between your television camera ’s lens and body and splits the incoming light into nine separate beams that can be individually filtered before they hit the sensor in a three - by - three power system .
This allows photographers to capture a high dynamic chain of mountains paradigm in a unmarried injection , or to filtrate out specific colors and wavelengths that can be recombine and manipulated in post - production , or simply used for enquiry role . And since the single beams are entering the lens at ever so more or less different angles , there ’s enough information in the icon to figure depth and perform clever Lytro - like refocus tricks afterwards .
The researchers are also currently working to miniaturise and streamline the prototype so that it can finally be turned into a consumer product as either an tote up - on accessory for DSLRs , or for use in be imagery devices like smartphones where switch filters is n’t really an choice .
