Adobe recently demonstrated a new type of lens which, like an insect's compound eye, transmits several smaller images to the camera. The result is a photograph with multiple sub-views, each taken from a slightly different vantage point at exactly the same time. From this information, the computer can reconstruct a model of the scene in three dimensions. This looks set to revolutionise photography, and potentially film-making. http://www.news.com/8301-13580_3-9793272-39.html
