"There are three areas he wants to reintroduce in a completely new way: paper books, television, and photographyThis was the response of writer Walter Isaacson, author of Steve Jobs' biography, in response to a press interview question after the publication of his book. Well let's see these three areas ... For books: all of us Apple Education Conference We saw the new concept of books presented by Apple, as for television, it is almost certain for everyone that Apple will offer its own TV running on the iOS system and can be controlled by voice via the Siri service, and at most this will be next year. Well, how is it going with the field of photography and what will Apple offer in the vital field? This is what was revealed by the recently published Inside Apple book, which we will review together now.
As we mentioned previously several times that one of the areas that Apple is most interested in is the field of photography, so we presented previously The evolution of your iPhone camera And we explained the additions that Apple has put in the latest updates and feature Edit Pictures Also, for the camera itself, Apple added the face recognition feature, and image capture became very fast, and it used the gyroscope sensor to improve image stability in shooting video, in addition to shooting 1080p high-quality video, all this using the 8 mega-pixel camera produced by Sony. So what can be presented more in this to revolutionize the field of photography rather than a traditional development?
These things are revealed by the book Inside Apple, which became available for download from the software store, starting on Wednesday, January 25, and it reveals Apple from the inside and how the company’s leaders manage inventions, innovations, product lines and so on. It is available at $ 13 and there is an audio version at $ 20.

But what interests us now is that it was mentioned in the book that Steve Jobs in the last month of his life contacted a person called Ren Ng, the owner of a company specializing in the field of photography called Lytro, and he said to him, " If you have time, we can meet today Indeed, the meeting took place, and NG Jobs reviewed the company's technologies, camera design and other advantages, and it was agreed to send him an email reviewing what Lytro could provide with Apple.
In order to know what the company can offer Litro to Apple, we must first know what is a specialty this company. This company specializes in introducing a new concept of photography. We all used to see images taken with an equal distribution of light, then the concept of “focus” appeared. For example, you want to take a picture of a flower with a sea in its background and you want it to appear only clearly so that the viewer knows the picture that I mean to show him the flower and not the sea . Well, what is the solution if you want the focus to be on the sea and not the flower after you've taken the photo. The solution, unfortunately, is "none" ... there is no prior to the emergence of this revolutionary technology from the "Letro" company, where the cameras of this company take pictures and the whole light field in the surrounding environment and after taking the picture, you can change the focus according to what you want, for example you take a picture of a group of friends in A party and after you have captured the photo, focus on two friends to appear clearly, send the picture to them and change the focus on other friends, send the picture to them, and so on, so that one picture becomes interactive, changing the lighting in it as you want, and one picture can become more than one picture.
Try it for yourself, Click anywhere in this image to change the focus ...
The shape of the new revolutionary cameras may seem strange, and of course they are not designed to be a substitute for professional cameras. Rather, it is a new technology that may be the best on some occasions. This camera is available in two versions, 8 GB, can accommodate 350 images, and its price is $ 399, and also a 16 GB version, which can accommodate 750 images, and its price is $ 499. The light of this technology captures the light coming from all directions and all points at the same time. If this technology is transferred to a small phone such as the iPhone with all its advantages, we may get a unique camera in all phones.
Of course, we do not know whether this technology can be transferred to portable devices quickly or not, as it may require large capacity or a lot of energy that cannot be provided in devices that have become thin and their energy is not much, but what we know is that this technology will change the field of imaging for the better, even if the verse is issued IPhone 5 before the end of the year with a 12-megapixel camera and equipped with such features, we will have a phone that is unmatched in the field of photography. Imagine the advantages that you see in the following video available on the iPhone ...
