Take a quick look at the picture, and you’ll be forgiven for thinking this guy is just trying to be weird. That is actually a DIY plenoptic camera, which uses an array of microlenses to capture 4D lightfield data. Basically you’ll be getting many different viewpoints, and the data can be processed to create a final image that is focused on any part of the screen. If you’re intrigued about this kind of photography, check out more of these types of pictures at futurepic.org. Are you planning to create such a camera over the Christmas holidays?
