Lytro's light-field cameras can do this. https://vimeo.com/102302646 https://vimeo.com/102302646

  Yes, I know, thanks, but at the end of the day the Lytro nice technology allows for focus and depth of field correction (besides some slight shift in pespective), but once the "wow" effect has faded away (I mean for "plain" photography), that's it. For cinema, VR and CGI it is simply great of course.

    Based on the movie, I'm not sure what features you want besides "move slightly to the right".

      In the movie, from a plain photography, the ESPER machine manages, somehow, to enter into a reflection, and then expand in the reflection, seeing things that are "not there" in the original image, in practice in the fiction the whole 3d space (even what is on the side of the door) is navigable and viewable: http://thelegalgeeks.com/2017/06/28/admissibility-of-zhoras-photo-in-blade-runner/ http://thelegalgeeks.com/2017/06/28/admissibility-of-zhoras-...

        I think this is close to the Blaredunner camera tech you want: http://web.media.mit.edu/~raskar/cornar/ http://web.media.mit.edu/~raskar/cornar/
