A 3D glass display on the back gives users a clean and crisp view of their photos and presents all the camera's information in a simple way. The overall finish of the camera is soft and tactile and practically invites users to handle it. The Lytro Lüm will feature Lytro's revolutionary Light Field platform, as well as built-in WiFi, Bluetooth and wireless charging.
