Lytro, a California-based start-up based in Mountain View, is poised to launch a funny digital camera of the same name with which it intends to propose a new alternative to digital photo enthusiasts. Method is called "Light Field Capture" and it is to capture the light field to form an image, that is to say all of the lights through a scene, not only light which has just hit the sensor of the device.
