The article repeats the standard erroneous concept of "single point perspective", which it says is what a pinhole camera produces.
"instead of producing an image from a single point perspective, as would a pinhole, its straw counterpart produces a multipoint perspective from an array."
The traditional meaning of single point perspective is a drawing technique which uses a single vanishing point (rather than multiple vanishing points, one for each set of parallel lines in space).
The technique of using straws will produce a parallel projection of some kind, depending on the design of the camera. It isn't a "multipoint perspective" just because it's a parallel projection. This is so basic.
