Lately I've been watching various TV shows that are using green screen/composite effects. At times, I felt there was some kind of weird DOF thing going on that just didn't look right.
Now I know what that is. Computational DOF. Interesting.
Along these lines, wasn't there a camera technology that came out last year that allowed total focus/DOF changes post-image-capture? It looked awesome, but IIRC, the tech was going to be several years until released.
ADD: Here it is. Would love to see this in stereo 4K: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lytro The nice thing about this tech is that in stereo, you should be able to eliminate the eyeball-focus strain that drives users crazy.
