As it is, (no images posted for : it's output??) it's one of those techy-toys you'll used for a couple : days and shelve. : : The Lytro reminds me of a Bushnell binocular known as "Permafocus." : They were basically a scam, pretending to be in-focus across the : distance range when in-fact they used optical trickery that resulted : in very poor overall performance. They were aimed at the lower-tier : buyer as well. Fundamentally, the Lytro is a device that exaggerates the effect of light arriving at its sensor from oblique angles. Used in conjunction with a laser light source, it might aid in detecting flexing, and therefore potential failure, in metal structures like airplanes, storage tanks, etc. It's just a thought. I'm not a structural engineer and know almost nothing about the subject. Bob |

I'm not a structural engineer and know almost nothing about the subject. The data ought to be able to provide 3D imaging. With macro focus stacking software, you can generate 3D stereo pairs or 'rocking' animations where the subject tilts a little back & forth. |
