Filip Novotny "Plenoptics yog thawj qhov kev hloov pauv loj hauv kev yees duab txij li xyoo 19th," nws sau ob xyoos dhau los txog qhov tshiab server technology TechCrunch. "Kuv xav reinvent photography," nws tshaj tawm ib zaug Steve Jobs. Thiab plaub caug-peb daim ntawv tso cai tshiab tau ua pov thawj tias Apple tau pom meej tias tseem nyiam lub kiv puag ncig hauv kev yees duab.
Ib txheej ntawm patents cuam tshuam nrog lub npe hu ua plenoptic photography. Cov cuab yeej tshiab no ua rau nws tuaj yeem hloov pauv qhov tsom ntawm daim duab tsuas yog tom qab nws tau coj, yog li muab cov neeg siv nrog qee qhov zoo. Txij li cov duab tsis pom tseeb tuaj yeem kho tau yooj yim, tus kws yees duab yeej tsis tas yuav cuam tshuam nrog kev ua kom pom tseeb thiab tuaj yeem thaij duab sai dua. Ib daim duab kuj tseem tuaj yeem muab ntau yam cuam tshuam los ntawm kev hloov lub dav hlau tsom.
Cov tshuab no twb tau muab coj los siv rau hauv ib qho khoom lag luam. Plenoptic koob yees duab Lytro nws paub zoo txog nws cov yam ntxwv tsis tau pom dua thiab nws cov qauv tsim zoo. Tab sis nws kuj muaj ib qho teeb meem loj - daws teeb meem tsawg. Yog hais tias tus neeg siv txiav txim siab los hloov cov hom tswv yim rau classic JPEG, nws yuav tsum cia siab tias qhov kawg loj ntawm 1080 x 1080 pixels. Qhov ntawd tsuas yog 1,2 megapixels xwb.
Qhov tsis zoo no yog tshwm sim los ntawm kev nyuaj ntawm cov optics siv. Txhawm rau kom lub koob yees duab plenoptic ua haujlwm, lawv yuav tsum paub txog cov kev taw qhia ntawm tus kheej lub teeb rays. Txhawm rau ua qhov no, lawv siv cov array ntawm me me optical lo ntsiab muag. Muaj tag nrho ntawm ib puas txhiab ntawm cov "microlenses" hauv Lytro lub koob yees duab. Yog li ntawd, yog tias Apple xav siv cov thev naus laus zis no hauv ib qho ntawm nws cov khoom siv mobile, nws yuav muaj teeb meem loj nrog kev ua haujlwm me me txaus.
Txawm li cas los xij, cov ntaub ntawv patents kuj tshem tawm qhov tsis zoo ntawm kev daws teeb meem tsawg rau qee qhov. Lawv cia siab tias nws yuav muaj peev xwm hloov los ntawm kev yees duab plenoptic mus rau hom classic txhua lub sijhawm. Qhov no yuav ua rau tus neeg siv poob lub peev xwm los kho qhov ntse ntawm daim duab, tab sis ntawm qhov tod tes, nws tuaj yeem siv qhov kev daws teeb meem ntau dua. Qhov ua tau ntawm kev hloov ntawm hom yuav muab los ntawm ib qho tshwj xeeb adapter, uas tuaj yeem pom ntawm ib qho ntawm cov duab, uas Apple ntxiv rau patent.
Cov duab uas muaj peev xwm ua kom pom tseeb ntxiv tuaj yeem muaj ib hnub (txawm tias tej zaum tsis ntev) kuj tshwm sim hauv iPhone, piv txwv li. Steve Jobs twb pom muaj peev xwm zoo hauv kev yees duab plenoptic. Raws li sau rau hauv tub huabtais Adam Lashinsky Hauv cov kua, Cov hauj lwm tau caw Ren Ng, CEO ntawm Lytro, rau hauv nws lub chaw ua haujlwm ib hnub. Thaum kawg ntawm nws qhov kev nthuav qhia, ob leeg txawm pom zoo tias lawv cov tuam txhab yuav tsum koom tes yav tom ntej. Txawm li cas los xij, qhov no tseem tsis tau tshwm sim. Apple tsuas yog tsim rau Lytro txoj haujlwm hauv lawv cov patents (thiab muab lawv cov qhab nia zoo rau nws, ib yam nkaus).
