If you think about all the light that enters - that enters the lens of a camera, that's much more than a photo. The light field is all the higher-dimensional information that's lost in a regular photo. When we record all this information, that provides us the opportunity in software after the fact.

Unlike regular digital or film cameras, which can only record a scene in two dimensions, light field cameras capture all of the light rays traveling in every direction through a scene. This means that some aspects of a picture can be manipulated after the fact.

Light-field photography is a transformational technology that needs a transformational product to introduce it. For the first time, we have a light-field camera that's going to be for everyone - not something in a huge room in a research facility.

There's something about light field photography that's just magical.

The first light-field camera array I saw at Stanford had a bunch of applications, like to do special effects like you see in 'The Matrix,' where you spin the camera around in frozen motion. It took up an entire room.

Wherever there is light, one can photograph.

Light field photography unleashes the power of the light, to forever change how everyone takes and experiences pictures.

Photography is about light and what it does and how it is captured on a piece of negative.

Light is everything in photographs and has to be considered in all situations.

There is still refinement needed - we are working on being able to do the same things at lower light levels and with a larger field of view.
