Watch This Live Demonstration Of The Lytro Camera That Lets You Refocus Your Bigfoot Images Later

By -

What if you had a camera whose images could be re-focused minutes, days or years after the shot, or viewed in 3D? That's what a company called Lytro promises you'll get in these tiny little boxes for just $399.

Why should you care? Well, if you're a serious Bigfoot researcher like Todd Standing, Victor Oropeza, or Randy Brisson and people are always complaining about your blurry photos of Bigfoot, then you may want to pre-order one right now because this camera's going to be out in just another month.

In nerd-speak, this little device is known as the Lytro light field camera:

And its anodized aluminum and silicone skin hides an engineering feat -- a proprietary sensor that the firm claims can capture 11 million rays of light instantly. That's paired to an 8x zoom lens with an f/2 aperture and eleven elements, plus a glass touchscreen around back, which allows you to touch any portion of the image to refocus on that part of the scene.

Watch the demonstration video below from The Verge:



In the video below, Paul Miller from The Verge sits down with Eric Cheng, Lyto's director of photography for a frank conversation about the future of imaging. If Cheng has his way, every image you shoot will be focusable, three-dimensional, and rich with parallax.

    Very cool, but I swear, I watched the video twice and I still have no freaking idea what he's talking about. Haha. I wish there was a better way to put it across.

    That's really cool. Team Squatchie needs one of these! Also I don't think anyone claims Standings videos are out of focus I think they are just to unbelievable.

    The idea is cool,I just can't passed the look of it.
    I prefer to do the work with the camera rather than playing on the computer adjusting the photos.
    I noticed that an 8G takes only 350 pictures.Mine takes 1500 with an 8G card.
    I realize it's an apples to oranges comparison,I'm just saying.
    It's a very innovative product though.I really appreciate outside of the box thinking.

    Even though it looks like magic, it's not. The explanation didn't give away much though. So, I don't know how they do it, but I can think of how they might do it. They could use a fast readout sensor combined with an auto-focus motor that sweeps through focus range, taking maybe five to ten images in possibly 1/30 of a sec. The rest is on the software side.

Rumors abound on whether or not Finding Bigfoot will continue, but hopeful news is on the horizon. Snake Oil Productions, the production company responsible for Finding Bigfoot, is seeking a permit for filming in the Monterey, Virginia area. Monterey lies between the Monongahela and George Washington National Forests. Definitely a good place to look for bigfoot. We can only speculate if this means Finding Bigfoot has been signed on for additional seasons, or if perhaps a new bigfoot show is in the works. We'll keep you updated on any further announcements for sure.

Samurai Chatter: Have you used it in the field?

Editor's Note: This is a guest post by Suzie M., a sasquatch enthusiast. Crypto-linguists believe that the species known Bigfoot/Sasquatch/Yeti/Yowie ect speak and understand a complex language, which by all accounts seems to stem from Asia. When one listens to it there is definitely a sense of it being Chinese or Japanese. It is a very odd mix of sounds, clicks and what could be actual words. This is the reason some experts are looking into the Asian dialect theory, some have said it could be a lost dialect, which was carried from Asia by the Bigfoot species that colonised America.

Bigfoot injured by a forest fire was taken away and hidden by the authorities, not even Robert Lindsay can top this story

This story was circulating the internet way back in 2004, or maybe as far back as 1999. Back when everybody was on 56k dial-up modems and a "Facebook" was just a regular book with directory listing of names and headshots. This story was so disturbing and so shocking that nobody believed it at the time. It was the Robert Lindsay " Bear Hunter: Two Bigfoots Shot and DNA Samples Taken " story of the time. And like Robert's Bear Hunter story , this witness didn't have a name. The only thing known about the witness is that this person was a government employee, anonymous of course. The author of the story was a science teacher named Thom Powell who believe it really happened and that the whole story was an elaborate cover-up. Powell said the anonymous government employee alerted the BFRO about a 7.5 feet long/tall burn victim with "multiple burns on hands, feet, legs and body; some 2nd and 3rd degree burns". Sadly, there was no DNA samples taken from
