Recently, iOS client was added to the light field camera, which can not only view the photos in the light field camera on the phone, but also control the focus and upload the server provided by Lytro to interact with other users. Now let's try this software!

The official website of the light field camera is this: If you are interested, you can go there and have a look. You can also find desktop clients and iOS clients there.

The app in the Apple Store is called Lytro. You can download it by searching the name.

Hmm... After opening it, it is mandatory for you to register an account on their server to enter... It is tedious, and the process is ignored. This is the APP interface.

To view the photos of the light field camera on the phone, you need to turn on the WIFI of the light field camera, and then connect to the phone.

However, it should be noted that you must download the desktop client of the light field camera, and then update the software of the light field camera to enable WIFI. After opening, there will be a matching password.

Then connect your phone to the WIFI of the light field camera.

The first time you open it, you need to synchronize the photos back, so it will be slow at the beginning.

In the interface after synchronization, there are photos taken by the light field camera. Pull down to refresh. In fact, the goods will be automatically updated after the light field camera takes photos.

Choose a photo randomly to try the effect. This is the focus set on the yellow cup.

This is the focus set on the blue cup at the back. Note that this is the sample that has been photographed and then reprocessed in the software. They are all the same sample, not two.

You can also view the shot samples uploaded by other users on the client, and the user uploaded the original file, so you can also stamp different focus effects on the photos. The above picture is a screenshot of two different focuses set by the editor. You can see the picture clearly.

This is also a sample uploaded to the server by other users.

After long pressing the sample uploaded to the server, there will be a pseudo 3D effect. However, the screenshot does not show that it is not a high-end thing that can be ignored.

In addition to playing with other people's photos, this client can also forward and push its own social platform, such as Twitter, Facebook, etc.

Although this client can easily view the photos of the light field camera, the biggest problem is that it cannot directly export the photos to the mobile phone, nor can it zoom in to view the details of the photos... It only exists for instant sharing, so it is not very useful.

That's all for the introduction of the iOS client of the light field camera. In the future, we will update the full experience of the light field camera and the experience of the desktop platform.
