| 'Tis amazing. I remember this idea was mooted several years ago and we said How could it be possible to change the focus after the photo has been taken? (I presume it's the same group of people.) |

That would be great for those of us who can't see how to focus. I hope that it works out as planned.

Yes, definitely. One particular guy. Stanford graduate Ren Ng, specifically. There was a lot of press around his work 4-5 years ago, and he's since gotten funded and now has, I believe, 40-50 people working on this project in Mountain View, just downstream from Palo Alto.
My family's an old-line Stanford family, so I'm kept pretty up-to-date on developments stemming from the extended Stanford community :-)

Its definitely cool. I would see using it whenever I miss the focus on the eyes when shooting at like 1.2, which is pretty easy to do.

| I'm confused, as the images only have three predictable focal points, and they don't exactly require fine tuning. If I don't click on the face, for example, but click on pavement, the face is as sharp as if I'd clicked on the face. Obviously it's a demo, but something's just not right. |

It takes a special technology to work with these, so those are just dumbed-down demos.
