Pelican Imaging has showed a video demonstrating the capabilities of its 16 lens array camera that will make its way to mobile devices in 2014.
The technology developed by Pelican uses multiple lenses which form an array of sensors working together to capture one combined image. The camera also stores depth information which can be used for creating 3D models from videos.
"Pelican's advances in computational imaging are enabling a new frontier for consumers: to capture still images and video footage with depth information of the scene, which in turn enables users to perform a range of post-capture edits such as refocusing, selecting multiple objects of focus, measuring distance between any two points, or creating a depth map/3D model of any scene. Because images and videos are captured all in focus, you can't miss your photo. Pelican's camera is about 50% of the thickness of the best-in-class camera modules shipping in mobile phones today."

Nokia has also invested in Pelican Imaging, so we might see future Lumias with these camera sensors.
