The Light L16 was announced in the 2010s as a device housing 16 fixed-focus cameras and used computational photography to fuse the images into a single high-resolution photograph, with options to simulate different focal lengths and extract depth information. The device attracted attention for its notable approach to computational imaging, but it faced production delays and questions about manufacturing scale and price. The company subsequently shifted away from consumer devices, and the L16 line was eventually discontinued.
Beyond the camera, L16 is also used as a generic designation in various industries; without a specific
