Lytro Delivers New 3D Capabilities and Expands Worldwide Distribution

Mountain View, Calif. — November 12, 2013 — Lytro, Inc., creator of the world’s first consumer light field camera, announced today Lytro 3D, a collection of features that delivers a new way for everyone to experience living pictures in 3D on their desktop and on mobile devices.

With the release today of Lytro Desktop 3.1 for Mac and Windows available for download at Lytro.com and Lytro Mobile 1.2 for iOS, living pictures that have been processed for Perspective Shift can now take on a new dimension of storytelling in 3D. You can show off your living pictures in Presentation Mode as 3D images on the updated Lytro Desktop and Mobile App and, by connecting to a 3D-capable TV over HDMI or Apple AirPlay, the Lytro 3D experience can be extended to the living room for everyone to enjoy. This is the first camera that allows photographers to create a 3D image with a single exposure at the push of a button.

“The beauty and power of Light Field technology is that we are able to continue to expand on how living pictures are experienced, first with Perspective Shift and now 3D,” said Jason Rosenthal, CEO, Lytro. “Lytro remains committed to delivering new ways to make visual storytelling more immersive and engaging through innovative software and hardware.”
