Unformatted text preview: 1 Econ302 Homework Assignment 3 Solutions 1. For each of the following examples, draw a representative isoquant. What can you say about the marginal rate of technical substitution in each case? a. A firm can hire only full-time employees to produce its output, or it can hire some combination of full-time and part-time employees. For each full-time worker let go, the firm must hire an increasing number of temporary employees to maintain the same level of output. Place part time workers on the vertical axis and full time workers on the horizontal axis. The slope of the isoquant measures the number of part time workers that can be exchanged for a full time worker, while still maintaining output. When we are at the bottom end of the isoquant we have a lot of full time workers and few part time workers. As we move up the isoquant and give up full time workers, we must hire more and more part time workers to replace each full time worker. The slope increases (in absolute value terms) as we move up the isoquant. The isoquant is therefore convex and we have diminishing marginal rate of technical substitution. b. A firm finds that it can always trade two units of labor for one unit of capital and still keep output constant. The marginal rate of technical substitution measures the number of units of labor that can be exchanged for a unit of capital while still maintaining output. If the firm can always trade two labor for one capital then the MRTS is constant and the isoquant is linear. c. A firm requires exactly two full-time workers to operate each piece of machinery in the factory. This firm operates under a fixed proportions technology, and the isoquants are L- shaped. The firm cannot exchange any labor for capital and still maintain output because it must maintain a fixed 2:1 ratio of labor:capital. 2. Do the following functions exhibit increasing, constant, or decreasing returns to scale? What happens to the marginal product of each individual factor as that factor is increased, and the other factor is held constant? a . q 3 L 2 K This function exhibits constant returns to scale. For example, if L is 2 and K is 2 then q is 10. If L is 4 and K is 4 then q is 20. When the inputs are doubled, output will double. Each marginal product is constant for this production function. When L increases by 1 q will increase by 3. When K increases by 1 q will increase by 2. b . q (2 L 2 K ) 1 2 This function exhibits decreasing returns to scale. For example, if L is 2 and K is 2 then q is 2.8. If L is 4 and K is 4 then q is 4. When the inputs are doubled, output will less than double. The marginal product of each input is decreasing. This can be determined using calculus by differentiating the production function with respect to either input, while holding the other input constant. For example, the marginal product of labor is q L 2 2(2 L 2 K ) 1 2 ....

Traveler Reviews
Beautiful Resort
We stayed at this hotel for 1 week in May for my husbands 40th birthday. The hotel and resort is beautiful we had a gorgeous room over looking the golf course room 3511. The valet parking is extortionate and seemed pretty chaotic so we parked, for free, during our stay (a stones throw away) at the Aventura Mall (the parking section next to the Marriott). We had no hassle that way getting our car when we wanted it and did not have to pay anything!!! The hotel grounds, pools and gym were fantastic and the Starbucks on site was a really handy touch. We ate in the steak restaurant in the hotel but whilst this was lovely the prices were very high, we felt it was very over priced. Also be aware of the drinks prices they are very deceiving only advertising glass prices which some would assume are bottle prices its very unclear. Be warned as you don't want any nasty surprises when you get the bill!!Overall a stunning, and very comfortable stay.
Great Hotel and Convenient Facilities and Location
This is a great place for meetings, shopping and playing golfSpacious and comfortable rooms, conference rooms and within walking distance from Aventura mallFriendly staff and ready to meet your request
Unique property...
Beautiful hotel architecturally with Great food, service, and lovely pools and grounds. Only negative, the rooms need a bit of an update.. i would definitely return next time I am in the area, as its centrally located (half way to Miami and Fort lauderdale)
Very good
This is a great hotel right on the golf course. However, even for those not into golf this hotel has plenty to offer with several tennis courts, a spa and two big pools. There are a lot of conferences going on always but you never have the feeling the hotel gets to crowded. The rooms are big and clean. I do think the restaurants on site are fairly expensive, but that is to be expected in a hotel like this. If you are by car, I would park at the mall across the street, as the valet service is, at close to $40 incl tax, too expensive in my opinion
Beautiful Hotel and Excellent Service
Amazing hotel with fabulous amenities! I highly recommend this hotel. We were there for a business conference and it was delightful. We arrived early on Josh at the front dest was wonderful! He quickly found us an available room and we were able to check in early. The rooms were lovely, we were in a junior suite and it was very big with a balcony. There are two pools one for families which has a water slide and lazy river and an adult pool. The restaurants and bars on the property are all excellent, and the work out facility is very nice too. The property does have a shuttle that will take you to the mall and to a property that they share beach access with. I would not recommend going to the beach. I found it dirty and random. I honestly felt like I had stepped into a Motel 6 type of situation. The restaurant on the beach only takes cash and it really wasn't good. The shuttle service is nice for shopping but I wouldn't waste my time going to the beach, stay at the pools and enjoy the amenities at the hotel! There is also a spa on property, I wasn't able to use it during my stay but a friend I was with raved about it.

Tosha Thakkar hardly knew her neighbour, Daniel Stani-Reginald.
But the man who lived next door had been planning his "cold and calculated" crime well before he raped and murdered the 24-year-old Indian student, the Supreme Court in Sydney has been told.
Stani-Reginald then stuffed Ms Thakkar's body in a suitcase, dumped it in a canal and went home to read an article called Beginnings of a Serial Killer, the court heard on Monday.
Crown prosecutor Mark Tedeschi QC has urged Justice Derek Price to impose a life sentence on Stani-Reginald, saying he is capable of seeking notoriety as a serial killer.
While other young men his age were going to college or learning a trade, Stani-Reginald, 21, "made a deliberate decision to school himself on how to become a serial rapist and murderer", Mr Tedeschi said.
In the three months before he raped and strangled Ms Thakkar in the Croydon unit where she lived next door to him, he had viewed about 9500 disturbing internet articles and websites on serial killers and notorious rapists.
He looked up articles on infamous Australian cases like that of Dean Shillingsworth, the murdered toddler whose body was dumped in a suitcase.
He read judgments on the sentences of notorious killers and viewed pornography relating to the "degradation of Indian women" on the morning he murdered Ms Thakkar, the court heard.
Stani-Reginald has pleaded guilty to raping and murdering Ms Thakkar on March 9, 2011.
Her body was discovered by construction workers two days later.
Her parents travelled from India for his sentence hearing and described their anguish over the death of their sweet and caring daughter.
Mr Tedeschi said Stani-Reginald showed no signs of mental illness and was not under the effect of any drugs or alcohol when he carried out the well-planned murder.
Afterwards, he had called a cab, transported Ms Thakkar's body to the canal in the suitcase and then gone to a shopping centre.
He continued his internet searches of serial killers even as police were milling around outside his unit and had a casual conversation with Ms Thakkar's boyfriend that day, the court heard.
"There's not the slightest suggestion he was horrified by what he had done," Mr Tedeschi said, adding that Stani-Reginald has still shown no remorse.
"The community would be justifiably aggrieved if he were to receive a sentence less than life imprisonment," Mr Tedeschi said.
The sentence hearing continues.

A heart-wrenching drama is being played out in West Dallas. The neighborhood is mostly full of 70+ year old homes rented to mostly poor folks. These were built before the neighborhood was even annexed by Dallas. For decades, the structures had been 'grandfathered in' from keeping up with the ever-improving building code. The area had been isolated from the city by the Trinity River until a landmark bridge opened a few years ago. That brought developers and new enforcement of housing codes. The houses are so out of code, that the owner, HMK Ltd., would rather shutter them:

"Not just impractical but it's impossible. No matter how much money, you cannot throw enough money into these houses and make them compliant."

Some of the tenets have been living in these homes for three or four decades and pay a paltry $300-$400 a month in rent. HMK has offered to sell them the houses they currently rent for $65,000, their next best offer. Fine if these poor folks could find the $65,000. The idea originally was that vertical integration by the occupant into ownership would evade the housing codes. But no, the city will require the new owners to bring them up to code.

Previously, the renters and landlord had been content exchanging low rent for poor quality homes. Everyone knew these were poor quality homes and were fine with that. But nanny-state enforcement of the housing code will soon keep this value creating transaction from being consummated.Michael Wardhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-1752771132348583018.post-87929611252437030592017-05-24T08:39:00.003-05:002017-05-24T08:39:48.906-05:00What caused the Great Depression?Marginal Revolution University has another good short video, documenting its various causes, including some of the self-defeating efforts to fix it.Luke Froebhttps://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-1752771132348583018.post-3075365279699060482017-05-22T10:27:00.001-05:002017-05-22T10:28:18.912-05:00Of course not, sunk costs don't matterThe headline in this New York NBC affiliate news story is "Large Milk Spill Closes Roadway; No Crying Reported."

Here is a post from Ground Zero in the NIMBY wars (San Francisco) that offers advice on debating NIMBY's:

1. Econ 101 supply-and-demand theory is helpful in discussing these issues, but don't rely on it exclusively. Instead, use a mix of data, simple theory, thought experiments, and references to more complex theories.

2. Always remind people that the price of an apartment is not fixed, and doesn't come built into its walls and floors.

3. Remind NIMBYs to think about the effect of new housing on whole regions, states, and the country itself, instead of just on one city or one neighborhood. If NIMBYs say they only care about one city or neighborhood, ask them why.

4. Ask NIMBYs what they think would be the result of destroying rich people's current residences.

5. Acknowledge that induced demand is a real thing, and think seriously about how new housing supply within a city changes the location decisions of people not currently living in that city.

6. NIMBYs care about the character of a city, so it's good to be able to paint a positive, enticing picture of what a city would look and feel like with more development.

I especially like suggestion #4:

...Imagine destroying a bunch of luxury apartments in SF. Just find the most expensive apartment buildings you can and demolish them.

What would happen to rents in SF if you did this? Would rents fall? Would rich people decide that SF hates them, and head for Seattle or the East Bay or Austin? Maybe. But maybe they would stay in SF, and go bid high prices for apartments currently occupied by the beleaguered working class. The landlords of those apartments, smelling profit, would find a way around anti-eviction laws, kick out the working-class people, and rent to the recently displaced rich. Those newly-displaced working-class people, having nowhere to live in SF, would move out of the city themselves, incurring all the costs and disruptions and stress of doing so.

If you think that demolishing luxury apartments would have this latter result, then you should also think that building more luxury apartments would do the opposite. Price should think long and hard about what would happen if SF started demolishing luxury apartments.

Supplier Stocks." Essentialy, they are:

Look for companies with rare, differentiated technologies

Look for high barriers to entry

Look for technologies that clearly affect the user experience

Would they same advice hold for Apple investing in these suppliers? That is, should they vertically integrate by purchasing a supplier with these characteristics? After all, these are the characteristics that tend to make a firm profitable. I see two problems.

1. EMH: An invester does not want a profitable firm; he wants a more profitable firm. That is, the purchase price already reflects the present value of the expected future profits. In order for the purchase to be profitable, the present value of the expected future profits must be made to be more than the purchase price. Your average Joe investor usually will typically not know if this can happen nor can he make it happen.

2. Synergies: Apple could possibly make it happen. It could possibly do this if it sees that the current arrangement prevents some efficiencies and that vertical integration would solve them.

But do not purchase a company merely because it is profitable.

If food gets returned, many restaurants have rules to prevent the cooks and servers from eating it. On its face, this seems inefficient, as good food is discarded.

QUESTION: Why do restaurants have these rules? (Hint: incentives, Chapter 1)

ANSWER: To answer the question we consider all the benefits and costs that vary with the consequence of the rule (Chapter 3).

The obvious benefit of giving food to hungry servers and cooks is that you increase the attractiveness of working at the restaurant, which allows you to reduce their wages (the "compensating differentials" of Chapter 9).

However, the hidden cost of giving rejected food to the staff is that you create incentives for hungry staff members to deliberately mess up orders so they can get free food.

If a restaurant has rules preventing staff from eating rejected food, one could infer that the costs are bigger than the benefits, and that the agency cost (Chapter 21) of trying to control this kind of perverse behavior are large.

ORIGIN-BASED VS. DESTINATION-BASED TAXATION: The corporate tax system is now origin-based. If we change to a destination based taxation (where it is consumed instead of produced), this would encourage US exports and discourage imports. But then the exchange rates would adjust:

...Americans would supply fewer dollars in foreign-exchange markets, and foreigners would demand more dollars. As a result, the dollar would appreciate, making foreign goods cheaper for Americans, and American goods more expensive for foreigners. The movement in the exchange rate would offset the initial impact on imports and exports.

If the exchange rate adjusted completely, the so called "border tax" would become equivalent to a Value-added tax, with all the attendant benefits: low rates over a broad base (non distortionary, i.e., people would not spend lots of effort trying to avoid it), and shifts taxes to consumption rather than income (encourages production/income).Luke Froebhttps://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-1752771132348583018.post-14697431508185547712017-04-26T09:40:00.001-05:002017-04-26T09:45:44.816-05:00Should we be worried about discrimination based on party affiliation?Via MarginalRevolution:

In the marketplace, consumers are much more likely—almost two times as likely—to engage in a transaction when their partisanship matches that of the seller. In our survey experiment, three quarters of all subjects forego a higher monetary payment to avoid helping the other party.

Original paper suggests that partisan affiliation is a strong potential source of discrimination:

To date, few social norms are in place to constrain it, as they are with respect to unequal treatment along other social divides (e.g., race and gender). Our analysis suggests that partisan-based discrimination may occur even in the most basic economic settings, and as such should be the subject of more systematic scrutiny.

As newspapers are being replaced by internet publishing, the new jobs are clustering, in a way that was not true of newspaper jobs, on the coasts:

As Enrico Moretti, a University of California, Berkeley, economist who has studied the geography of job creation, points out, the tech entrepreneurs who drive internet publishing could locate their companies in low-rent, low-cost-of-living places like Cleveland, but they don't. They need the most talented workers, who tend to move to the clusters, where demand drives wages higher. And it's the clusters that host all the subsidiary industries a tech start-up craves—lawyers specializing in intellectual property and incorporation; hardware and software vendors; angel investors; and so on.

The online media, liberated from printing presses and local ad bases, has been free to form clusters, piggyback-style, on the industries and government that it covers. New York is home to most business coverage because of the size of the business and banking community there. Likewise, national political reporting has concentrated in Washington and grown apace with the federal government. Entertainment and cultural reporting has bunched in New York and Los Angeles, where those businesses are strong.

The result? If you look at the maps on the next page, you don't need to be a Republican campaign strategist to grasp just how far the "media bubble" has drifted from the average American experience. Newspaper jobs are far more evenly scattered across the country, including the deep red parts. But as those vanish, it's internet jobs that are driving whatever growth there is in media—and those fall almost entirely in places that are dense, blue and right in the bubble.

In chapter 9, we learn that, in the long run, risky assets must return enough to compensate shareholders for bearing risk. So when the risk suddenly declines, current stock prices increase to reduce expected return.

Colleague Bob Whaley's VIX index (previous blog posts on VIX), which measures risk in terms of the implied volatility, declined suddenly in both the US and EU as it became likely that the pro-EU candidate would win the French election.

WORLDWIDE VS. TERRITORIAL: Most nations aim to impose taxes on economic activity that takes place within their borders

 INCOME VS. CONSUMPTION: Many economists have argued that taxes should be levied based on consumption rather than income.

 ORIGIN-BASED VS. DESTINATION-BASED TAXATION: The corporate tax system is now origin-based.

 DEBT VS. EQUITY: Now, firms can deduct interest payments to bondholders, but they cannot deduct dividend payments to equity holders.

Mankiw thinks that Congress is moving in the right direction in all four dimensions.

The forces behind this are the same that lead to compensating differentials in labor markets. Evidence supports theory:

The income tax rate effect varies by league, with the largest effect in professional basketball, where teams in states without income tax win 4.5 more games each year relative to high-tax states.

A new working paper from HBS finds that for every $1 increase in the minimum wage, the probability of restaurant failure increases by 4-10%. Moreoever, as zerohedge points out, the restaurants most likely to fail are those that serve lower-income workers:

... low-income workers don't just lose their jobs when minimum wages are hiked...they also lose access to cheap casual dining options as lower-rated, cheaper restaurants are much more likely to fail when their costs are artificially raised.

Employees were randomly assigned to one of three groups. The first was "usual care," in which they received educational materials and free smoking cessation aids. The second was a reward program: Employees could receive up to $800 over six months if they quit. The third was a deposit program, in which smokers initially forked over $150 of their money, but if they quit, they got their deposit back along with a $650 bonus.

 Compared with the usual care group, employees in both incentive groups were substantially more likely to be smoke-free at six months. But the nature of the incentives mattered. Those offered the reward program were far more likely to accept the challenge than those offered the deposit program. But the deposit program was twice as effective at getting people to quit — and five times as effective as just pamphlets and Nicorette gum.

Groupon is a case in point:

Andrew Mason [Groupon's founder] had played in punk bands, and the company he started, originally called the Point, was intended to help people organize around social causes. Early on, though, its users realized they could band together to save money, so Mason reoriented the company around that purpose. Eventually he realized he could just go directly to other companies to ask for discount deals, then sell those to groups of users. "Before I knew it," Judge recalled him saying, "I was selling coupons." Judge sympathizes with members of the tech world, he explained, because they're not like Wall Street guys — they actually build things people use. "They don't seem to get into it for the purpose of pure greed and trying to make money," he said. "They end up there."

Whole Foods became a Fortune 500 company, and Mr. Mackey, a wealthy, foodie celebrity."

But now, competition has caught up to Whole Foods, as Kroger pushes their own in-house organic store brand and discount rivals like ALDI and LIDL expand at the low end. In response, activist investors are pushing Whole Foods start behaving more like a normal grocery store:

Jana [activist investor] ... wants Whole Foods to more quickly adopt standard grocery-industry practices it long had eschewed: loyalty cards that would allow it to target shoppers with coupons based on their buying habits; centralizing product purchasing to improve efficiency; and advertising sales and discounts.

Whether these changes cause Whole Foods to lose its foodie cachet (where else can you buy organic tofu tikka masala from a social justice warrior with a neck tattoo?) will determine its long run viability.

BOTTOM LINE: it is not the strongest who survive, but those willing to adapt.

 Early registration fee	 US$ 650	 (15 Mar 2017)

 Standard registration fee	 US$ 930	 (16 Aug 2017)

 Late registration fee	 US$ 1,380	 (13 Sep 2017)

It is likey that there are negligible costs involved with the late regestrations.

That parking minimums increase the supply of parking which drives down the price which creates traffic jams, pollution, sprawl, and segregation. (Parking minimums are zoning requirements to add parking to buildings.)

...if you know you can park free wherever you go, why not drive? The ever-growing supply of free parking in America is one reason why investments in public transport have coaxed so few people out of cars, says David King of Arizona State University. In 1990, 73% of Americans got to work by driving alone, according to the census. In 2014, after a ballyhooed urban revival and many expensive tram and rapid-bus projects, 76% drove.

This kind of inefficiency exacts a huge toll on a city:

Free parking is not, of course, really free. The costs of building the car parks, as well as cleaning, lighting, repairing and securing them, are passed on to the people who use the buildings to which they are attached. Restaurant meals and cinema tickets are more pricey; flats are more expensive; office workers are presumably paid less. Everybody pays, whether or not they drive. And that has an unfortunate distributional effect, because young people drive a little less than the middle-aged and the poor drive less than the rich. In America, 17% of blacks and 12% of Hispanics who lived in big cities usually took public transport to work in 2013, whereas 7% of whites did. Free parking represents a subsidy for older people that is paid disproportionately by the young and a subsidy for the wealthy that is paid by the poor.

Buffalo, by the way, has realized this, and eliminated parking minimums.

As the supply of homes declined, the listing price climbed — especially in the trade-up and premium markets. The median listing price of trade-up homes rose 52 percent to $221,597 between early 2012 and 2017, while Trulia's data also showed the price of premium homes rose 44 percent to $437,967. Meanwhile, the median listing price for starter homes increased 36 percent to $108,783.

Supply is limited by strict zoning laws that make it difficult for supply to increase. Since Nashville is getting about 80 new residents/day, the only thing that can adjust is price.

...he explained that economic analysis, primarily in the form of cost-benefit analysis, is largely ignored. Actually, it is probably worse than that: Those types of analyses aren't even done. For example, significant areas of the agency's work in recent years ... contained nothing that would pass as economic analysis.

So how to do this? Chairman Pai wants to change the organizational structure from an M-form (with economists mixed in with attorneys) to a functional organization, with economists in their own division.

Some middling economists had suggested exactly this in an article titled "The Economics of Organizing Economists."

... a functional organization has a couple of advantages over a divisional form. First, a functional organization is more likely to keep up with new methodologies and so be able to apply them to enforcement questions. Second, since the staff economists and attorneys produce information, not traditional goods or services, there is an advantage to the independent analyses done by attorneys and economists. Without two separate memos, the decentralization of decision making in a divisional organization is likely to result in less information reaching the ultimate decision makers.

In large and small ways, these homeowners, who tend to be white, more affluent and older than the average resident, have shaped neighborhoods in their reflection — building a city that is consistently rated as one of the nation's most livable, as well as one of its most expensive. ...

The homeowner-dominated neighborhood councils have typically argued against land use changes that would allow more density (in the form of townhouses and apartment buildings) in and near Seattle's traditional single-family neighborhoods, which make up nearly two-thirds of the city. Including more renters and low-income people in the mix could dilute, or even upend, those groups' agendas.

In other words, the neighborhood councils act like cartel managers who prevent lower-priced entrants (higher density apartments) from serving lower-income, would-be homeowners and renters. The result is higher prices that benefit the cartel members (homeowners).

What would it take to break the cartel-like function of Nashville's zoning process?Luke Froebhttps://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-1752771132348583018.post-24231990937892802562017-03-28T14:39:00.002-05:002017-03-29T11:05:00.278-05:00Corruption vs. collusion (bid rigging) in Govt. Procurement. The United States has rigid procurement rules, designed to prevent the government bureaucrats who oversee procurement from steering government contracts to well-connected patrons. To a large extent they succeed, at least when compared to other countries.

However, the rules also prevent procurement officers from responding to collusion by, for example, raising reserve prices, or by promising one of the bidders a big share of the future procurement if she offers a better price.

This trade-off is examined theoretically, in a recent paper by some middling economists entitled Horizontal Mergers in Optimal Auctions, where procurement agents have the flexibility to design auction rules in response to the threat of collusion:

Merger [or collusion] effects are ... much smaller than in open auctions because bidders compete more against an optimal mechanism than they do against each other. As a consequence, there is less competition for mergers [or collusion] to eliminate.

This implies that collusion would have much smaller effects, if the auctioneer had the ability to react to collusion, e.g., with a higher reserve. But giving the auctioneer this ability could also lead to patronage (corruption). Luke Froebhttps://firstname.lastname@example.com

We were not too impressed with results from the HTC One M8's Duo Cam in our review, but nevertheless, its secondary camera for capturing depth information and itscorresponding features make the HTC one of the more interesting smartphone cameras released so far in 2014.
One of Duo Cam's limitations has been that the editing features, such as UFocus for changing the focus point after capture or Foregrounder for applying effects to the back- or foreground of an image, could only be used on the device itself. This has changed with the latest update to the HTC Gallery App that allows you to share a Duo Cam image with others via the new Duo Effects Gallery web interface. In the interface the image can be manipulated in pretty much the same way as on the phone but the functions are a little restricted. For example, UFocus lacks the blur strength slider of the device version (see the example above).
Of course you still need a One M8 to capture the image but the Duo Effects gallery is a nice way to share your image results and give others an impression of how this new technology works. If you are the lucky owner of a HTC One M8 you can download the update now from the Google Play Store.

But it works extremely fake and circular, not depending of the distance between foreground and background. When you click on the stairs that are inside the bike, they get in focus, and everything else gets out of focus in a circular way, even the same stairs, left from the stairs inside the bike. And when you focus on the bike, only parts of the bike get in focus and the stairs inside the bike get out of focus, where the same stairs outside of the bike are in focus. I don't know about you guys, but this is very fake out of focus blur. And why does everybody want this feature on their smartphone? DSLR-like out of focus background, when it is impossible to get such bokeh out of such tiny sensor.
I don't even get the whole lytro thing. You shoot a flower, why would you possibly want to refocus after taking the picture on the background and blurring the flower?!
Well done HTC!
I think the software version of these type of images are almost getting as good as what the Lytro light field cameras are producing...doesn't bode well for light field cameras.
Think again :)
I don't necessarily like or need the lytro (however i do appreciate their idea and future possibilities it brings).
But this is just much too messed up. Even in very easy situations the results are terrible wrong, and even in the examples featuring the feature :).
maybe if in some future this idea will really work, we'll be able to simulate super bokeh, etc with just a phone... but there is a long way to go...
I think that is the big thing missing from the Lytro cameras...the backgrounds are just 'smoothly' out of focus. Not everyone likes bokeh or certain types of bokeh but for those of us who do, the light field blur just doesn't cut it. I guess we will see what the future brings.
A light field camera with a four thirds mount might be interesting...if it were possible. Best of both worlds with the use of legacy glass.
This should show that HTC cares about their customers' satisfaction.
When they introduced Zoe feature, they supplemented it with Zoe app and Video highlight.
Now this update to gallery is for the duocam feature.
Credit where it's due. Keep up the good work.
it looks like a beginner's quacky usage of photoshop. interesting potential though
Is the HTC actually allowing selective focus?
It seems like its just capturing depth info at the pixel level and applying fake digital blur based on that how far that pixel is from what is in focus. In this case, its not refocusing at all... its more like digital blurring based on depth information.
It doesn't do a fantastic job of it either. Half of the bike is blurry because it thinks it's in the background. I guess it's a good work around for a small sensor, if the could make it work well.
I've got the M8 it sometimes works well, and sometimes it doesnt and looks very fake. I find the best results are to reduce the amount of blurring to whats appropriate for the FL and scene. This examples seems to empoly max blurring and doesnt look like what a real life lense would produce in such a scene. No lense goes from in Focus to Max blur in such a basic 3 dimensional scene. Reducing the blur will assist in hiding the fall off between In focus and OOF that doesnt exist here.
Instead of trying to measure DOF by using a secondary camera, HTC may have had greater success by using some sort of Laser distance measuring system where there secondary camera sits.

With the biggest home crowd in Sydney FC history set to converge on Allianz Stadium this Saturday, Brett Emerton has assured Sky Blues fans there will be no repeat of their disappointing first-up loss.
Sydney's 2-0 defeat at the hands of Wellington has them equal last with Newcastle, their opponents this week, and has left them needing to prove there is substance behind the pre-season hype.
A crowd of close to 35,000 is tipped, with Sydney marquee Alessandro Del Piero vying for the limelight with Newcastle's ex-Premier League star Emile Heskey.
Sydney will be determined to put on a display in front of their home crowd and Emerton said the players were aware that nothing less than a win would suffice.
''It's something we've been expecting now for several weeks after Del Piero's arrival and it should be a fantastic atmosphere on Saturday night,'' Emerton said at training yesterday. ''What we're looking for is a good result after what was a poor start last weekend.
''We found ourselves chasing it much too often and I think, as far as the team is concerned, I wouldn't say they wanted it more than us but physically they were more up for the task ... This Saturday, we're going to make sure that changes against Newcastle.''
Wellington's physicality, especially the unrelenting pressure through the midfield, seemed to spook Sydney and Emerton admitted his teammates must be aware they'll be the focus of more attention than usual this season.
''Definitely, and as far as Sydney Football Club goes ... it's the one team that everybody looks forward to playing against and beating,'' he said. ''It's something we have to deal with week in, week out, and obviously having Alessandro on board, it probably gives them that extra little bit of incentive.''
But with the Jets putting in arguably an even worse performance, a 2-0 loss at home to a jet-lagged Adelaide United side, Sydney know they're not the only club on trial.
''They'll be desperate to get some points on the board as well. We played them in pre-season [a 1-1 draw at Leichhardt Oval] and they're a good team,'' Emerton said. ''There's no bad teams in the league this year. Everyone's tough, and unless you're up for the task 100 per cent, you're not going to win football matches.''
The 33-year-old said his teammates went into the Wellington game feeling ''very confident'' and he was surprised at how the team didn't perform as expected.
''In training and in the games we'd played amongst ourselves, some of the formations being formed were looking fantastic,'' he said. ''But we always find it difficult away in Wellington. I think that's no secret. We'll just put that one behind us and get on with the job. I'm still very confident we're going to have a good season.''
The ex-Blackburn winger said ball retention was the key reason the result didn't go their way.
''Just keeping general possession [was the issue],'' he said. ''We gave the ball away far too easily.
''[But] you can't play well every week. That's football, and there will be bad performances throughout the season. We have to minimise that, try and put things right and find a consistency that lasts through an entire season.''
Del Piero was animated at times during his A-League debut and Emerton said the Italian legend spoke his mind after the game about how the team can get better.
''He's very knowledgeable. He's given us advice and pinpointed what he thinks we can improve on,'' Emerton said. ''Obviously as players we all take that on board and I'm sure the coaching staff will as well.''
Midfielder Terry Antonis stayed in Wellington longer than expected after receiving a knock to the head. He was due to arrive back last night and Emerton does not expect him to play on Saturday.
''He's been diagnosed with concussion and so we're just waiting for him to fly back,'' Emerton said.
''It's unfortunate, he's going to be a big loss for us this weekend but the good thing for us this year is that we've got good depth.''
Meanwhile, FFA chairman Frank Lowy has announced former Socceroo Peter Tredinnick and ex-Sydney FC board member Chris Rex have joined the FFA board.
Ron Walker, who joined the board in 2003, has stepped down.
