How does this differ from what Lytro did in 2012?

Lytro was basically tube of different lenses at different focal points. It was actually kind of a low tech solve.

This abstract is one of the worst things I’ve ever read. It’s loaded with jargon. That said it looks like they’re trying capture depth by seeing how different light waves bounce off a subject at different angles.

It would be insanely useful though.
