Lytro debuted their latest invention - a revolutionary Light Field Cinema Camera that looks like a giant laser gun from a Sci-fi movie rather than a conventional camera, in front of an ecstatic packed house at NAB 2016. Lytro have been making light field stills cameras for a few years on a more consumer level, but recently the company shifted direction completely and now shocked crowds at NAB with their latest demo short film "Life" captured with their revolutionary technology that has the potential to fundamentally change the way movies are shot.
