Refocus Imaging Renamed to Lytro

It looks like Refocus Imaging has changed its name to Lytro. The company claims to implement "in software what the conventional camera and lens must do physically in hardware [focusing, that is]. Using the power and economics of software, computational photography removes the physical constraints of camera and lens systems."

Mark Levoy's group from Stanford University seems to stay at the roots of this technology.
