One awesome use for this technology is in microscopes! Instead of having to focus on each slide, slides can be run through much faster, photographed once, and interesting objects (like cells in a culture) can be found by processing afterwards.

And even cooler IMO, is that a display panel with proportionately sized microlenses can be used (after a little image processing) to recreate the light field for a glasses free 3d display.
