This article is lame, and would be unable to generate an accurate picture of the actual scene. There would also be loss of detail, missing objects, missing people, etc. It would feel immensely artificial, too. I was also hoping for something more ambitious, such as "once you can detect the full electromagnetic spectrum hitting your phone from any angle, you won't need a lens to reconstruct a focused picture," as mentioned by blixt. At a minimum, I was hoping for conceptualization and theorized advancement of the current display-pixel-as-camera-pixel train of thought.

Actually, not true - highly probable, yes, but not true - opencv already supports everything necessary to reproject a synthetic image based on a set of source images. If I'm taking a picture of someone directly in front of me and they're also visible to two cameras to my left and right in the same visual plane as I am the solution is trivial - after that it does get to be a question of how many camera, how much in phase, and your taste for chewing up gazillions of machine cycles.
