LOL yeah I saw that one a few months ago on Slashdot. Pretty neat idea though.

Once commercial point and shoot camera's reach 10mp *which is way more than what they need it for since most of it will be 4X6's* I bet they will move onto 3D pictures, having two sensors and with software you could generate a 3d enviroment with the pictures, kinda like the cameras on star trek tng. True it woudlnt capture all the info in the picture, like whats behind a person, it would be a cool trick to be able to see a hologram of a picture or to be able to move around in it in a 3d enviroment.
