I got quite excited at the idea of one of these cameras for 3D shots, especially when the original cameras are going for less than £100 at the moment.
What attracted me was the chance of using them to produce 3D shots from the information captured and using the newish Lytro software.
I downloaded the software and also download the Lytro sample files. This is the one I chose, because if it could show the background through the rain drops it would be impressive.
Unfortunately the 3D conversion, that seems to rely on a generated depth map didn't produce what I had hoped for, although I expected the card boarding that comes with the narrow interocular .
Looking closely at the pattern of rain-drops, it appears that some thing has happened.
Whether this is bad retouching, or a side effect of the Lytro software I'm not sure.
Here's the image in three dimensions.
