Capture everything:
Only the Lytro lets you capture the entire light field, which is all of the light traveling in every direction in every point in space.

The Lytro Light Field Camera represents the most significant shift in photography since the transition from film to digital.
Focus after the fact:
The first major capability of a light field camera is focusing a picture after the fact, something conventional cameras can't do.
The device records all of the light falling on its sensor without running it through processes such as colour balancing or sharpening and these can be applied later on a computer.
Your friends and family will have fun exploring and interacting with the living pictures you capture with the Lytro, on nearly any device without having to download any special software.

Only the Lytro lets you capture the entire light field, which is all of the light traveling in every direction in every point in space.
A revolutionary digital camera that allows photographers to focus their pictures after taking them has gone on sale.Lytro, which looks nothing like a conventional camera, captures data about the intensity and direction of all the light entering the lenses rather than recording a single version of an image.
The information taken can be reorganised later with the option of changing which parts are blurred and which are sharp.
The "light field" technology, which was developed by company founder Ren Ng while he was at Stanford University, is in some ways analogous to the practice of shooting RAW images with a current generation digital camera.

According to the company, Lytro's image sensor is capable of capturing 11 megarays of data, whereas the feature of producing 3D images will be added at a later date. (Text :ANI)

Light Field Resolution
Megarays: the number of light rays captured by the light field sensor.
Similarly, by recording the light field passing through many tiny micro-lenses in the Lytro, the action of merging these to create a single flat image can be applied as a post-production effect.
"Light field photography was once only possible with 100 cameras tethered to a supercomputer in a lab," the BBC quoted Ng as saying.
Software
