I keep saying, don't invest in cinema lenses unless you can make back the return in less than a few years. Here it comes!

[Christoffer Glans]

So Jim's new thing is light field tech? I'm not sure this is the revolutionary thing he mentioned though. I think this is just part of Reds future development. Light field is in concept not really something new but if Red released this as a low cost tech just as Red One was with 4K Digital Cinema, it would be rather revolutionary, or evolutionary.

It looks revolutionary to me!

If you compare a hand-held lightfield camera as shown in the cartoon with the latest Lytro prototype (which is the size, weight, and cost of a major piece of military artillery), I'd call it revolutionary!

Jim said it would benefit everyone I believe? This can't be it

[Björn Benckert]

What will red do with all those sensors they get left over in the upgrades... nevermind. :)

Nope, the Lytro is revolutionary, Red's is evolutionary.

Hehe

Well, if they have a monochrome version, maybe it could be used to take chest X-rays so... something for everyone. '-)

Do you think this tech would be addressing the growth in augmented reality?
Would having light field data benefit AR?
