Lytro Software
I’d like to write my own photo manager for my Lytro camera. My basic problem is Linux support.
I’m not sure what platform to use. HTML5 (in the way of CouchDB + Chrome Extension) is appealing. Easy-to-build interfaces, computer independence, etc.
On the other hand, all the binary files & processing means that a native app might be easier to write. In particular, dealing with dynamic display of “living photos” (stuff with refocusing and other light-field effects).
In any case, having to research and implement the algorithms involved sound like the opposite of fun.
Just watch the Lytro tag for updates on this.
