In 2011, Lytro demonstrated a camera that allows users to change the focus of a picture after the picture is taken. Lytro is developing "a new type of camera that dramatically changes photography for the first time since the 1800s," according to TechCrunch.
While he was a researcher at Stanford, Ng was photographing a friend's daughter and noticed "it was incredibly difficult to focus the image properly and capture her fleeting smile in just the right way." After completing his Ph.D, Ng decided to use his experience in light field research to "start a company that would produce light field cameras that everyone could enjoy."
Lytro board members include Ben Horowitz, general partner at Andreessen Horowitz; Patrick Chung, partner at NEA; and TiVo cofounder Mike Ramsay, with Charles Chi of Greylock Partners serving as Executive Chairman. Advisors include Intuit cofounder Scott Cook, VMware cofounder Diane Greene, Dolby Labs chairman Peter Gotcher and Sling Media cofounder Blake Krikorian.
Lytro has raised approximately $50 million to date. Investors include Andreessen Horowitz, Greylock Partners, NEA and K9 Ventures along with individual investors.
Light field photography (also known as plenoptic photography) captures all the available light in a scene going in every direction. It works by breaking up the main image with a microlens over an image sensor. Prior to development of the Lytro camera, light field images had to be taken with hundreds of different cameras tethered to a computer to compose the image
