I can tell this is a ‘shop from some of the pixels and from having seen quite a few photoshops in my time. lol

here’s an idea for a lens… something like the ipix ones from years ago… a glass sphere with a digital sensor in the middle… aka, a crystal ball with a digital sensor embedded in it… throw it up, and at the point of turn (when its stopped for a fraction of a second), it clicks… complete 3d view from where it clicks the photo… :)

@ringlerun
Yeah, but mostly I think this is to control the DOF, and not the perspective so much, though that’s a minor side effect of the lens design.

good concept… i think there is something in the concept… although, the final result will be quite different me believes… hard to get a true picture you can rotate around in if the lens’ are very close together… you really want cameras on all sides of the subject to get a true 3d thing you can rotate like in the matrix…

Still no word on price, what it will mount onto, or whether it fires seperate images for each “mini-lens” or breaks one image down into 19 smaller ones. I’d be interested to know — if anyone can dig that up.

Holy schnikies! I can imagine amazing applications with not only Photoshop, but After Effects as well. I want one!

it seems amazing, even though it looks like garbage.

I wonder how the resolution of the image will be.. If you use it on a normal camera, there would be 19 pictures of about 0.5 Megapixel..

I know! It’s an amazing little invention. I wonder what kind of mount it has, and what the price point will be. I’m imagining five figures.

DO WANT.

I just threw up in my mouth a little bit. That’s crazy.

Seriously though that is a cool idea.
