Light-field camera

A light-field camera is a kind of special camera that captures more information about the light in a scene than a regular camera. Instead of just capturing information about how bright something is and the color of it, the light-field camera captures more information about the direction of the light and the distance of something from the camera. All of this extra information makes the images produced by a light-field camera more realistic and life-like!
