I'm surprised no one's mentioned the similarity to the hologram photography. To me this seems like capturing refocus-able hologram with photographic quality. And once the technology progresses enough it will also be able to produce quality stills (this version is fine for smaller prints already) of printable size. All in all it seems like a nice step forward in camera technology that supports and simplifies traditional camera technology (allowing simpler, and cheaper, lens for example) while adding a new way to be creative (Light field effects) and maintaining quality. I don't, however, see it fundamentally changing photography. Just a nice new technology that will pave the way for the next 20 years of camera advances.
