If you just wanted an object in the foreground and maybe feet away

Its actually pretty innovative. If you wanted the background at infinity and something ft away in focus you can do that. However, whats cool, for those not in the know, is that you can choose focus on anything from close to infinity…AFTER you take the picture and in post production. As someone already said this is old news. AFAIK this is exactly what is knows as bullet time photography, but pointed at one direction rather than surrounding the object. For example, if you want everything in focus then you can have it.

However what dont understand is how they shift focus in postprod without getting perspective distorsion? Surely this is only prototype, but still seems to me the functionality will be very restricted. Some time something much cooler was achieved from group of students at some uni think read it in engadget they made this crazy cam just one lens where focus was not determined at time of exposure, but could be set at any point in postprod! they even showed examples of it in work. This is definitely old news and it was is PopSci.
