    There's already a consumer version of this, it uses a couple dozen that takes essentially a partially 3d image that you can focus perfectly after you shoot with it, it even gets light refraction perfectly.

    Its the Lytro Camera.
    Or, commonly the "light field camera."

    You take a picture and load it into the software. Then, you simply view it like any other web picture. Except, you click anywhere on the picture, and it bring that region into focus and realistically blurs the rest of the picutre in a way consistent with human depth perception. The results are spectacular, albeit slightly gimmicky.

    However, this camera from the video is on another level completely. What a fantastic thought! You can't make one camera go fast enough, then share the load between several just slightly delayed. Its even a cheap solution to implement. Cool post.

    this is not like the lytro camera..
    this can actually film a photon of light as it travels

    I think that as soon as we get lytro working in a 3D chamber we'll be able to add photographic 3d images to AR devices, which essentially means near-flawless AR 3d photographic imaging. Screw holograms.

    I do want to get my hands on the lytros..only 249..thats cheap.

    the problem is buggy software. That will be fixed.
    a good thing is that the software will get better over time and that means no upgrading the camera..just updating the software.

    I want to see what some pros do with this Lytros.

    it still wont take pictures like this one with a trillion FPS
