Does a camera without a lens make any physics sense? I cannot see how the scene geometry could be recoverable. Rays of light travelling from the scene arrive in all directions. Intuitively, imagine moving your eye at every point along some square inch. Each position of the eye is a different image. Now all those images overlap on the sensor. If you look at the images in the paper, everything except their most macro geometry and colour pallet is clearly generated -- since it changes depending on the prompt. So at a guess, the lensless sensor gets this massive overlap of all possible photos at that location and so is able, at least, to capture minimal macro geometry and colour. This isn't going to be a useful amount of information for almost any application.
