Bloomberg is reporting that Nokia is planning to invest in a Californian startup which creates Lytro-style camera technology slim enough to squeeze into a mobile phone.
The company in question is Pelican Imaging, which produces a complex sensor array and combines it with algorithmic processing to allow users to adjust an image's focus after it has been captured. That means that it can do without the extra lens required by Lytro's light field technique
Nokia has a bit of a love affair with fancy cameras: first it put out the wild 41-megapixel 808 PureView
The addition of a Lytro-style camera system to that arsenal sounds promising, but only if Nokia can make it genuinely useful. Otherwise, it could turn out to be yet another photographic gimmick?that fails to help sell a single phone. [Bloomberg via Verge]
