Snap! and Focus It Later

The Lytro camera makes taking quick snapshots quick again. When you click to take a photo, the camera captures all the light information it can and provides you with a digital file you can edit later.

Born out of founder Ren Ng’s years of research and PhD thesis, this development in digital photography has the potential to transform still shots into more interactive, varied pictures as the user can edit the photo to switch between different points of focus, adjust the light levels, etc.

Essentially, the technology lets you take your photos more quickly, and then play with them for longer. What sounds better than that?
