Lytro promising “breakthrough” products in 2014

By PR admin | Published: August 12, 2013

In interview with SFgate, Lytro's CEO Jason Rosenthal promised a series of new “breakthrough” products in 2014:

“We’re working on what we think will be our Model S" (referring to the latest Tesla model that earned a nearly perfect score from Consumer Reports) “We have a packed product roadmap for next year, we’ll introduce multiple what I think are just breakthrough products. I’m super excited and the world will be as well.”

Lytro added several new features to their first light-field camera (priced $399-$499), but many (including myself) are not convinced that this is the camera of the future. Let's see what they will announce in 2014.
