I think you mean Lytro, which definitely came to mind during the keynote. Specifically, when they said that it had never been possible to change DOF in photos before. I was listening carefully to see if they would qualify that with "smartphone photography" — but they didn't. I think Lytro's tech beat them to the punch by around a decade.


This stuck out to me, the inventor and CEO of Lytro was my computer graphics professor at Berkeley.

One of our projects in class about adjusting DoF post-capture, and it was definitely one of our exam questions.

Light field cameras use different tech as I understand it.


No doubt they use different tech, but it struck me as untrue to say that never before has it been possible to change DOF after taking a photo. Isn't that precisely what Lytro enabled?
