<div>Can't think of a killer app, but you could actually see light undergoing multi-inter-reflection inside a crystal, which was really something.</div><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Dec 13, 2011 at 2:12 PM, Daniel Vaquero <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:daniel@cs.ucsb.edu">daniel@cs.ucsb.edu</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Or scene relighting - capturing the light travel paths and then manipulating those to create new images. One of the articles say the equipment costs $250,000, and it also looks quite bulky, so it seems there's still a long way to go for making this more practical. But I think the initial results are very interesting.<div class="HOEnZb">

Hmmm... maybe I'm just not familiar with the domain but it's hard for<br>
me to see the applications for this.<br>
