More in the way of Lytro news, BloomBerg reports that Nokia is said to be investing in lytro-style camera start-up pelican imaging.
You saw how one developer in WP had overcome this already with the ‘Refocus‘ app we had previously talked about.
Pelican is apparently one of the companies that have mastered this very complicated algorithm. This might mean pictures greater than 1280×720 resolution?
It’s funny that whilst Nokia understands the importance of Camera to the Nokia brand (to the point that even Microsoft advertises PureView against SGSIII) no one is addressing the WP8 camera UI at all.
Nokia has a long history of pushing high-quality cameras in its phones, with recent devices such as the 41-megapixel 808 Pureview and image-stabilizing Lumia 920 continuing that tradition. Bloomberg's report characterizes the investment as an attempt to further differentiate Nokia's Lumia line from Android devices and the iPhone. Last year,Nokia acquired imaging company Scalado and integrated its technology into Windows Phone handsets.
