Lytro Illum: A Light Field Camera for the Serious Phographer.
Lytro is in the business of changing how people take and experience photography. Whereas a conventional camera records a 2D effigy of a scene, Lytro's plenoptic microlens array captures a 4D light field, enabling photographers to capture 'living pictures' that can be refocused or have their perspective shifted after they have been taken. When in 2011 Lytro introduced its first light field camera, media proclaimed that photography is changed forever and investors embraced the promise of computational photography. While Lytro's first camera unleashed photographers' imaginations, its small sensor and unique form factor just scratched the surface of the possibilities of light field photography.
With better optics, a better sensor and improved computational capabilities, Lytro Illum pushes the boundaries of computational photography. Intended to bring computational photography to the experienced and sophisticated photographer, Illum balances Lytro's vision with the realities of market, technology, and user expectations.
Finding simplicity in complexity.
Today's DSLR has a lot of geometry and a lot of complexity. To set Illum apart, we aimed for simple, reduced and straightforward design. We sought to eliminate unnecessary complexity, and looked for opportunity in the details: grip, hot shoe, screen, and physical user interface have all been re-interpreted.
Screen adjustment at the touch of the thumb.
While Illum's screen angle is optimized for the 60% of all photos that are taken in landscape orientation, a light tap of the thumb on the lower edge of the display has the monitor pop into a vertical position, allowing for the accurate framing of photographs in portrait orientation. Pulling the screen out for low angle macro shots is just as easy.
Form, meet function
Today's camera designs prioritize either ergonomics or a minimalist appearance. In the former case, the resulting products often lack visual appeal, whereas cameras with simple geometry need to be accessorized to make up for their shortcomings in the areas of usability and handling. Lytro Illum manages to balance the two aspects of design, resulting in an elegant, distinctive and timeless product that is delightful to use and a pleasure to look at.
A new take on "touch" interfaces
Photographers want their eyes on the scene, not the camera. To make controls simple and easy to locate without looking, we placed them where they would be easy to find. Similarly, the focus and zoom rings are easy to locate and distinguish by touch.

Kudos and Credits go the others in the team that all worked together to create the finest crafted product I've ever had the privalege to work on - In particular I would like to mention my friend and fellow Artefact Designer, Markus Wierzoch - also Dave Evans and Simon Weiss from Lytro who guided and executed this product with incredible mastery and skill.
