unless its faked by someone who took multiple pictures and used software to make them appear as one refocusable picture.
I am perterbed by how many of the pictures can easily be two seperate pictures overlaid. the one example with five focusable levels could just be a more complex example.
I would have to see a demo of a picture taken on the spot to believe it.
however the video of it also demonstrated limited three dimensional data being captured with the camera as well. this has huge implications for the computer vision industry. monocular depth perception for robots may be much easier than it was in the past, previously requiring huge multidimensional vectors to determine relative depth from a single image.
A new Silicon Valley start-up has released a camera that allows you to focus the picture after you take it! Needless to say, this is quite revolutionary.
