[Oh no, I found a review I wrote of the Lytro camera I bought at the time. The last modified in 2014 so I'm really not sure about the "quality" of the writing, it may well be "kwality", but if anyone wants to read a review of the Lytro written immediately around the time I got/used it: https://nerget.com/Lytro.html https://nerget.com/Lytro.html] I bought a Lytro camera that was doing this possibly more than a decade ago. It was a “consumer” device, but it was pretty useless (though kind of pretty to look at?). Essentially you lose huge amounts of 2d resolution on the sensor so the resultant picture were both very low res and also huge. Coupled with no standard format to be available, I vaguely recall that the only way to “share” the images was via a Facebook applet thing. I assume a decade of work means they can process the data faster and get better resolution, but the tech itself is far from new. Also you can title an article “this camera has no lens” and then start with “it has a microarray of thousands of lenses” :D
