Additionally, all images captured with the Lytro are inherently 3D, making each picture taken fully compatible with 3D displays.
The Lytro's light field technology captures the colour, direction and intensity of all light in a picture rather than just the light entering the lens like traditional digital cameras; this allows each picture to be focused and refocused after the fact as often as you want. Its light field technology also means that the Lytro has a practically instantaneous shutter speed since focusing beforehand is unnecessary. Meanwhile, the Lytro's aluminum body allows it to be both lightweight and sturdy.
