Then applying the concept to video to be used in live action footage? Having a separate depth pass would be amazing!

If the quality of the sensor is vastly improved and export to jpeg or RAW is available, the idea of an out of focus shot just vanishes, which could be very helpful.

Then she selects what she want’s focused (or better yet, the face recognition software does it for her) and with a button press it goes to Facebook. Put that ability on a phone and you have a winner.

Do you see any other practical use for this?
