Spark

Aya's research on light-field compression left the lab after friends asked for a camera they could actually carry on a weekend.

Friction

Phone cameras flattened the world into a feed.
Luma Field is for the few pictures you want to keep inhabitable.

Bet

A pocket camera for spatial memories.

Build

A micro-lens array, on-device depth reconstruction, and a deliberately limited 24-shot roll.

Files stay local; sharing is a still unless you export a spatial print.
