Lytro, Inc. was an American company founded in 2006 by Ren Ng which developed some of the first commercially available light-field cameras. The company would release its first-generation camera in 2012, before releasing the Illum in 2014, a more advanced camera targeted towards professional photographers. In 2015, the company pivoted to release the Immerge, a high-end camera designed for capturing virtual reality environments.
Lytro ceased operations in late March 2018, with many former employees transferring to work at Google.
