1. A method comprising:

  • providing a plurality of light field cameras each having;

    a micro photo-detector array device having a light detection surface anda micro lens array of micro lens elements;

    whereby the micro photo-detector array device and the micro lens array are assembled together and temporally angularly articulated as a single assembly around two orthogonal axes parallel to a plane of the light detection surface of the micro photo-detector array device;

    the temporal angular articulation being within a range of plus to minus a maximum angular articulation for each axis;

    embedding each light field camera in a respective mobile device;

    interconnecting each mobile device to at least one host device through wireless or wireline networks or through bulk data transfer using flash memory modules;

    exchanging light field camera output data between mobile devices that captured a different perspective of a viewing scene and the host device to form collective light field camera output data; and

    using the collective light field camera output data to create a collective light field of the viewed scene.
