This article is lame, and would be unable to generate an accurate picture of the actual scene. There would also be loss of detail, missing objects, missing people, etc. It would feel immensely artificial, too.

I was also hoping for something more ambitious, such as "once you can detect the full electromagnetic spectrum hitting your phone from any angle, you won't need a lens to reconstruct a focused picture," as mentioned by blixt.

At a minimum, I was hoping for conceptualization and theorized advancement of the current display-pixel-as-camera-pixel train of thought.
