Welcome to Light Fields
Recorded some footage from the Google Lightfields freebie. It's intriguing:
The thing I found most charming was the way people had to pose for 30 seconds+ to appear in a shot. It had something of the stiff awkwardness of a 19th Century pose routine (with the bonus oddness that you could move in and out of their line of sight and be seemingly stared at). Where it became effective was in these charming wee moments with this artist couple in their Venice garden.
The limitations are pretty clear (like literally, you can see the white lines of the globular limits as I approach, and then complete blackness if I stray beyond them), but stuff like the way it displays the reflections and light levels as you observe the scene from different angles is pretty neat.
Baby steps, but even as a way of experiencing another location or remembering individuals and places, this is pretty cool.
EDIT: Purely for the fact that I now feel like I've been to their mosaic tile house in Venice, even a year+ later: (++). [Free]
Here's a link on the tech.
