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

With light field technology, there is a huge opportunity for creativity in photography that hasn't been available in the past.

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.

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.

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.

Photography has always been a passion of mine, but I began to study light field photography when I was in the Ph.D. program at Stanford University.

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.

I have always found photography magical, and became more taken with it whilst modeling.

Essentially what photography is is life lit up.

Photography is a kind of virtual reality, and it helps if you can create the illusion of being in an interesting world.
