There is a paradigm shift taking place in the imaging industry with the introduction of computational photography.
Traditional Photography
This field involves digital image capture and processing techniques that use digital computation or algorithms instead of standard optical processes. It is very unconventional and may seem to be at odds with traditional photography. However, I see it as complementing traditional photography. Computational photography introduces new features in imaging that bring visualization beyond what traditional conventional photography offers, and it takes it to another level. The application for it is in 3D imaging, AR (Augmented Reality), VR (Virtual Reality) and MR (Mixed Reality) environments which are bringing new ways of storytelling for filmmakers and allowing creatives to explore new ways of shooting video, developing video games and creating digital content. We are already seeing its applications on consumer devices, most noticeably on smartphones.
