It certainly sounds cool, but I think it'll be quite a while before processing power gets to a usable level to make it capture enough data to be really useful.  Haven't read that specific link, but I've read about it before and heard a few comments.

It's a really cool system, but I can't see it taking off in professional photography circles. Can't put my finget on why, but I think it'll be limited to two areas of photography; one being a specialised area where it's linked directly to masses of computing power, and the second being a genuinely handy thing to have in something like a compact.

Can't see it taking over DSLR and standard lenses, despite the obvious benefits it brings.
