Indeed, it is not designed to solve issues, just designed to pursue a novel idea: making images where one can "look into" with a 3D effect (on a computer, of course). Nice idea, just with limitations at the moment (low resolution, lens quality).

Then you have to make software which enables the user/viewer to go through the whole range like the Lytro (web) software does. And you will not get the limited 3D capabilities. 

What is left is the user experience in looking into the image with a slight 3D space. That is the only thing it does.

 

That's all a bit slim as a use case, isn't it ?

Of course, my first reaction was "Oh, how cool", the 2nd one was "Now what ?".
