Are you ready for the newest technology that will be indistinguishable from magic?

Asked by Photosopher (1397points) June 23rd, 2011

I know there are lots of new tech that could be construed as magic. Any microwave oven would be thought of as magical just a few decades ago.

But here is a new tech in my field of photography that just boggles the mind. How it works is beyond me. It is an entirely new type of camera which captures every beam of light from every direction at every point in time. This allows adjustment of focus AFTER the shot is taken and even display 3D with a single photo source.

Click HERE to play with a sample image. You can click anywhere on the photo and it will refocus to your desired point. This is a single photo, not a composite image.

At what point do technology and magic become one in the same?
