Marc Levoy, Stanford University Professor, who is jointly appointed in computer science and electrical engineering. But that’s the geeky way of explaining this dude is doing some radical stuff with cameras. He shows us a camera that can refocus the image AFTER you shoot it! Talks about other research to stitch images together, digitize statues, among many others.

Adobe is in the mix with this technology now.
The “Magic Lens” is Adobe’s first foray into the hardware market, and it’s definitely no slouch. Comprised of 19 smaller lenses, it shoots the object from multiple angles simultaneously, enabling you to control the image’s depth of field using custom software.
