Lytro technology would be amazing for smartphones? How about Lytro video
Feb 20th
The revolutionary Lytro camera is one of the most impressive gadgets we have seen lately. Its light field technology captures the direction of all light in every dimension, allowing users to focus the image after the fact. We know that Lytro is not discarding the possibility of bringing this technology to smartphones, and if that happens, it would be great, because Lytro is also considering working with video.
According to Lytro CEO Ren Ng, this video capture is not completely off the table. The main issue is that processing as much data as the Lytro camera produces is not possible at the moment. But with the right processor, it could be done.
Processing technology is advancing fast. Smartphones are about to be released with quad-core processors, and we can only imagine what we will see next year. It would surely be amazing to see such technology come to high-end smartphones, not only with images, but with video, as well.
Let’s not hold our breath on this one just yet, though. If it happens, it will not be anytime soon, so let’s get hyped up about coming products, instead. This is just food for thought.

New Sony Image Technology Paves the Way for Thinner iPhones With Better Cameras
Jan 25th
Sony has officially announced a new image sensor technology alongside a new 13-megapixel back-illuminated sensor, reports MacRumors, which could pave the way for even thinner iPhones that can capture even higher quality photos and video.
This image sensor layers the pixel section containing formations of back-illuminated structure pixels onto chips containing the circuit section for signal processing, which is in place of supporting substrates for conventional back-illuminated CMOS image sensors. This structure achieves further enhancement in image quality, superior functionalities and a more compact size that will lead to enhanced camera evolution.
The sensors include build-in signal processing, as well as a new “RGBW” coding standard which adds white-light sensors to the traditional red, green and blue. This offers better low-light performance. Further, enhanced HDR tech will improve video shooting under bright light.
The company is set to begin sampling the sensors in March, making them an excellent potential target for Apple’s next-gen iPhone, expected to be launched sometime in summer or fall of 2012.
