Did anyone see this technology? It's either a great early April Fools joke,or a potentially valuable emerging technology.
They say that increasing DOF is done at the expense of introducing what they call "noise".
Just think - no more fancy highly corrected multi-element lenses
needed. Away goes the need for close-tolerance grinding. Just insert
the matched Wavefront element
Now guess if the magic element itself needs close-tolerance grinding or not.
then put some software to work on the image. Presto, every lens has the best possible correction, and DOF greater than f64 optics.
And the same noise as a Barbie Cam.
Looks like a winning idea to me, especially for us digicam folks
With those small sensors and short focals you're already there.
