Focus the Camera After You've Taken the Picture?

According to CNet, a start-up company called Refocus Imaging has technology that will allow camera users to focus their images after taking the picture. The technology uses a special lens and software to capture information that is adjusted after the picture is taken. According to founder Ren Ng, "One way to think of it is just a raw image, except to the nth degree." The company is formed from Ng's research at Stanford University and has received funding from Greylock Partners. The company intends to license this technology to camera companies.

Visit the company's website and photo gallery to see photographs that allow the viewer to adjust the focus by dragging a slider on the right side of the image.
