Ever since the invention of the camera, people have been trying to create 3D, because we see things in 3D, and everyone's aware that the camera doesn't.
There are many cells you could look at forever in 3D.
I love 3-D. I have been a big fan of 3-D for a long, long time. I took my 1988 wedding pictures in 3-D!
I like to think of Photography 1.0 as the invention of photography. Photography 2.0 is digital technology and the move from film and paper to everything on a chip. Photography 3.0 is the use of the camera, space, and color and to capture an object in the third dimension.
The first light-field camera array I saw at Stanford had a bunch of applications, like to do special effects like you see in 'The Matrix,' where you spin the camera around in frozen motion. It took up an entire room.
I'm a big 3-D convert.
The cameras were a little twitchy, and you'd get less footage and less set-ups every day. The interesting thing about it was that you just composed images in a completely different way because we had big 3D monitors on set, and you'd wear the glasses and see the image in 3D.
There's something about light field photography that's just magical.
Unlike regular digital or film cameras, which can only record a scene in two dimensions, light field cameras capture all of the light rays traveling in every direction through a scene. This means that some aspects of a picture can be manipulated after the fact.
If everything moves along and there are no major catastrophes we're basically headed towards holograms.
It's now possible to have your body 3D-imaged from head to toe at a sub-millimeter accuracy, showing every ripple of muscle or cellulite, to allow the perfect-fitting jeans or shoes.
We're always trying to make advancements in the arts and technology, so it's somewhat inevitable that we're going to make holograms of people.
True 3D is, you have to kind of originate the images in three dimensions.
With today's technology, you can actually see the baby grow, move, and hear their little heart beats.
I believe my hologram might be as good as me.
People are going to like 3-D in their family photos.
I feel in love with holography, which is that you don't have to wear anything or carry anything. It is augmented reality, if you will.
I like that 3D is based on the fact that you look with two eyes, so two cameras imitate that.
In the past, radiation treatment planning has been a very lengthy procedure. Now, with the aid of CT therapy-planning computer programs, we can position the therapy beams automatically with precision in a few minutes.
I worked on heads-up displays, virtual-reality technology, and holographic displays - all sorts of really cool technology.
What I'm trying to do is to use my hologram at the same time in multiple locations, so I can be in front of thousands of people without leaving my office.
We have seen amazing, creative and interactive pictures from camera owners, and I'm looking forward to the Lytro camera being available in Australia.
