Photography has gone through many evolutionary stages since it was invented. Each of these stages featured technologies that pushed it forward into the next stage. Consider concepts such as:

  • autofocus to take the work out of making sure your subject looks sharp,
  • the digital imaging sensor which provided a non-permanent method of recording images as an alternative to burn-once silver halide film,
  • the RAW image file format that allowed much tweaking of a photograph’s exposure and colour balance after it’s been taken.

Now get ready for what is likely to be the next evolutionary stage in photography…

Refocussing after a photograph has been taken!

Imagine never having another out-of-focus photograph or being able to refocus an image onto another point at any time after the shot was actually taken.

Refocus Imaging are developing a method of capturing an entire light field entering a lens and then applying computational photography to focus the image using software.

See for yourself, the results are amazing!
