Steve Jobs also wanted to revolutionize the photo with his iPhone

While we were talking to youThis morning of a possible Sony sensor present in
l’iPhone 5, the 9TO5 Mac site tells us thatApple and in
Private Steve Jobs also wanted to revolutionize the photo.

If each new iPhone brings us an ever more efficient sensor,
making the iPhone a fabulous point and click always at hand,

the creator of a company specializing in a whole new technology of
photography:

Lytro is the name of the product that aroused the curiosity of Steve Jobs;
With the desire to revolutionize the photo, the visionary at the apple does not
could be interested in Lytro.

This American company offersunique technology and
simply reinvents the capture of a photo. Indeed, instead of
Freeze the image as all the world cameras do, Lytro offers
to make the posteriori settings. Concretely this means that this
technology captures light from everywhere and all directions for
Then allow the depth of field to be adjusted.The device does not
focuses more on a single object but on all at the same time.Here is the

Even if technology seems incredibly interesting,it seems
difficult to imagine happening as it is in our iPhones.
Simply imaginethe weight of a single photo of this
genre…

Anyway, Apple continues to work on the photo part of its
apparatus and it is certain that Steve Jobs and Ren Ng, at the head of Lytro,
are well encountered to talk about photo. The future will tell us what awaits us
