UFiliphu Novotny "I-Plenoptics ingushintsho olukhulu lokuqala emkhakheni wezithombe kusukela ngekhulu le-19," wabhala eminyakeni emibili edlule mayelana nalobu buchwepheshe beseva entsha I-TechCrunch. "Ngifuna ukusungula kabusha izithombe," wamemezela kanye noSteve Jobs. Futhi amalungelo obunikazi angamashumi amane nantathu asanda kunikezwa afakazela ukuthi u-Apple ngokusobala usenentshisekelo kuguquko emkhakheni wokuthatha izithombe.
Iqoqo lamalungelo obunikazi liphathelene nalokho okubizwa nge-plenoptic photography. Lobu buchwepheshe obusha benza kube nokwenzeka ukushintsha ukugxila kwesithombe kuphela ngemva kokuba sesithathiwe, ngaleyo ndlela kunikeze umsebenzisi izinzuzo ezithile. Njengoba izithombe ezingagxilile zingalungiswa kalula, umthwebuli wezithombe ngokuyisisekelo akadingi ukubhekana nokugxila nhlobo futhi angathatha izithombe ngokushesha. Isithombe esisodwa singahlinzeka ngemiphumela eminingana ethokozisayo ngokushintsha indawo okugxilwe kuyo.
Lobu buchwepheshe sebuvele senziwe emkhiqizweni owodwa wezohwebo. Ikhamera ye-Plenoptic I-Lytro yaziwa kakhulu ngezici zayo ezingakaze zibonwe kanye nomklamo wayo wekhwalithi. Kodwa futhi inenkinga eyodwa enkulu - ukulungiswa okuphansi. Uma umsebenzisi enquma ukuguqula ifomethi yobunikazi ibe yi-JPEG yakudala, kufanele alindele usayizi wokugcina wamaphikiseli angu-1080 x 1080. Lokho kungama-megapixel angu-1,2 kuphela.
Lokhu kungalungile kubangelwa ubunzima bezobuchwepheshe be-optics esetshenzisiwe. Ukuze amakhamera e-plenoptic asebenze, kudingeka abone isiqondiso semisebe yokukhanya ngayinye. Ukuze wenze lokhu, sebenzisa uxhaxha lwamalensi okukhanya amancane. Kunesamba sezinkulungwane eziyikhulu zalawa "ma-microlens" kukhamera ye-Lytro. Ngakho-ke, uma i-Apple ibifuna ukusebenzisa lobu buchwepheshe kwenye yamadivayisi ayo eselula, kungenzeka ibe nezinkinga ezinkulu nge-miniaturization eyanele.
Kodwa-ke, amalungelo obunikazi afayiliwe aphinde asuse ububi bokulungiswa okuphansi ngokwezinga elithile. Balindele ukuthi kungenzeka ukuthi ushintshe usuke ekuthatheni izithombe ze-plenoptic uye kumodi yakudala nganoma yisiphi isikhathi. Lokhu kuzovumela umsebenzisi ukuthi alahlekelwe ikhono lokwengeza ukulungisa ukucija kwesithombe, kodwa ngakolunye uhlangothi, angasebenzisa ukulungiswa okuphezulu kakhulu. Amathuba okushintsha phakathi kwamamodi azonikezwa i-adaptha ekhethekile, engabonwa kwenye yezindlela imifanekiso, i-Apple eyengeza kulungelo lobunikazi.
Izithombe ezinethuba lokugxila okwengeziwe zingase zivele ngolunye usuku (yize mhlawumbe kungekudala) ku-iPhone, ngokwesibonelo. USteve Jobs usevele wabona amandla amakhulu ezithombeni ze-plenoptic. Njengoba kubhaliwe ku inkosana Adam Lashinsky Ngaphakathi kwe-apula, Imisebenzi yamema u-Ren Ng, oyi-CEO yakwa-Lytro, ehhovisi lakhe ngolunye usuku. Esephetha isethulo sakhe bobabili baze bavumelana ngokuthi izinkampani zabo kumele zisebenzisane ngokuzayo. Nokho, lokhu akukenzeki. I-Apple esikhundleni salokho yakhela emsebenzini kaLytro kumalungelo obunikazi abo (futhi ibanika isikweletu esifanele ngakho, futhi).
