Abstract
Embodiments are directed towards enabling digital cameras to create a 3D view, which can be re-rendered onto any object within a scene, so that it is both in focus and a center of perspective, based on capturing a single set of multiple 2D images of the scene. From capturing a single set of 2D images for a scene, a depth map of the scene may be generated, and used to calculate principal depths, which are then used to capture an image focused at each of the principal depths. A correspondence between a 2D image of the scene and the principal depths are determined that corresponds to a specific principal depth. For different coordinates of the 2D image, different 3D views of the scene are created that are each focused at a principal dept that corresponds to the given coordinate.
