They're not saying it will fix your focus problems as that sounds evolutionary. To say it is a new type of camera that does new things is revolutionary. But at the end of the day, that is still the possible benefit it gives you over what is more common today.
Actually, I have to wonder how far a similar effect could be achieved with variations of more conventional technology? For example, if you had stereoscopic images like that from the Panasonic 3D lens, or isn't there a mobile phone with two sensors now? If that has a sufficient depth of field plus depth information, you could apply a variable selective software blur to simulate the effect could you not?
