A couple of years ago, the Lytro camera took all the glory with its refocusing capabilities. Since, then developers and manufacturers have been researching on how to bring this wonderful technology in smartphones.
Recently, a Lytro like camera module has been produced by a California based company DigitalOptics, and they are calling it the 'Mems|Cam'. The module allows you to take a single image with multiple focus points, to tap into your touchscreen where you want to refocus your image. It is built using a MicroElectricalMechanical Silicon system (MEMS). The module is pretty light in weight and energy conserving,and also smaller and thinner compared to other traditional modules and hence can be packed into a smartphone not less than 5.1 mm in thickness.

Other OEMs have been trying upgrade their smartphone camera quality, with Nokia's PureView and HTC'sUltraPixels, and with Toshiba too developing another similar module. DigitalOptics displayed their camera module at the Mobile World Congress this year.
