But, where's my Star-Trek style holography where I can take "pictures" of the far side of objects?! Truly the holy grail of photography.

It'd be really cool to be able to take pictures of the far side of objects.]]>Oct 9th 2007 10:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/09/adobe-develops-3d-camera-technology-dubs-it-computational-photo/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/09/adobe-develops-3d-camera-technology-dubs-it-computational-photo/Oct 9th 2007 11:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/09/adobe-develops-3d-camera-technology-dubs-it-computational-photo/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/09/adobe-develops-3d-camera-technology-dubs-it-computational-photo/"It'd be really cool to be able to take pictures of the far side of objects."

Just attach a long stick to your camera and put a mirror on the end.

Surely this is only a prototype, but still seems to me the functionality will be very restricted.
Some time ago something much cooler was achieved from a group of students at some uni (think I read it in engadget) they made this crazy cam (just one lens) where focus was not determined at time of exposure, but could be set at any point in postprod! they even showed examples of it in work.]]>Oct 9th 2007 12:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/09/adobe-develops-3d-camera-technology-dubs-it-computational-photo/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/09/adobe-develops-3d-camera-technology-dubs-it-computational-photo/Oct 9th 2007 1:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/09/adobe-develops-3d-camera-technology-dubs-it-computational-photo/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/09/adobe-develops-3d-camera-technology-dubs-it-computational-photo/http://graphics.stanford.edu/papers/lfcamera/]]>Oct 9th 2007 11:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/09/adobe-develops-3d-camera-technology-dubs-it-computational-photo/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/09/adobe-develops-3d-camera-technology-dubs-it-computational-photo/ :-P]]>Oct 9th 2007 12:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/09/adobe-develops-3d-camera-technology-dubs-it-computational-photo/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/09/adobe-develops-3d-camera-technology-dubs-it-computational-photo/
I can imagine using it, but it better have pretty good resolution for it to be useful. We're talking at least 5 *crisp* megapixels per perspective, at the 19 perspectives they claim.]]>Oct 9th 2007 3:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/09/adobe-develops-3d-camera-technology-dubs-it-computational-photo/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/09/adobe-develops-3d-camera-technology-dubs-it-computational-photo/
