Never heard of it, but it reminds me of the Griswold's car in the original "Vacation".

I recall that one. Its on the Dustbin of History hit parade along with the Lytro "light field" camera, Nishika "lenticular 3D" camera, and Sigma Foveon "digital film" cameras.

There must be other one-trick-ponies than these. Would make an intriguing mini museum of odd losers. Each is an interesting flash in the pan device that actually had at least some initial sales.

I’ve told my kids that when given the choice, just because you can doesn’t mean you should. That applies to many things in life, including building cameras.

Had one once, it was fun to play with for awhile, but was lacking in intetnal software and efiting capabilities. Luckily I got it sold before it sat in the store too long.

It was an absolute boondoggle that never worked and was available only briefly before it vanished.

Funny enough, while Lytro failed as a photo camera, they actually made a fairly successful ultra high end cinema camera, which unlike its photo counterpart allowed you to use third party compositing and editing software to work (quite effectively) in a 3D space.

I had a test unit at onetime. It was interesting and compact. But I feel it was ahead of its time in a bad way. The software wasn’t quite there, and the form factor didn’t help win people over as it looked like a bit of a bulky cellphone. I also remember there being some odd issues with some of the photos but it’s been a while

Yes, there was a lot of discussion about it a few years ago. The company went out of the personal camera business and went more into commercial/movie-making production. I have no idea how that worked out for them. I think they said it used "lightfield technology," or something like that.
