Hands on with Lytro in Electric Blue



Lytro is coming to Times Square – and maybe your city too!

Lytro cameras will be on display, and available for hands-on, in-store demos, at the WIRED Store in New York City. Located at 42nd and Broadway, the 7th annual WIRED Store promises a first look at unique gadgets and gear, events, installations and experiences that embody the “WIRED lifestyle.” The three Lytro camera models will be featured along with more than 200 other hot new products. Visit the store between noon and 7pm Wednesdays through Sundays between Friday, Nov. 18 and Saturday, Dec. 24 (closed Thanksgiving Day) to request a Lytro camera demo with one of the WIRED Store employee “Ambassadors.”

We’ve also started hosting Lytro Demo Days near our headquarters in Mountain View, CA, and we’re opening our next one, on Friday, November 18, to the public. Pre-registration is required, and limited to 40 people. (If you end up on the waitlist, we’ll do our best to get you a priority invite to a future Demo Day.)

Are you thinking, “But what about me?” If you’re not heading to New York City for the holidays, and don’t live near Mountain View, how can you get your hands on a Lytro camera? You can vote to help us determine where we should host future Lytro Demo Days: Atlanta, Austin, Boston, Chicago, Seattle, or submit a write-in vote for your city.

Meet our first customer

Josh Bonk - Lytros First CustomerOn the Lytro Blog, we try to share a little of Lytro’s story, about our business and employees. We’ve also shared the story of our first employees. Now, we’re excited to to be able to share the story of our first customer, Josh Bonk. Josh managed to place his order in the first minute after cameras went on sale on Lytro.com.

We asked Josh for a little background on his interest in the Lytro and he shared, “I first heard about Lytro reading through the techblogs Engadget and Gizmodo. I saw it and just thought it was something completely different. It really just seemed fun. I’m not an avid photographer; I’ll typically use my iPhone or let someone else take all the photos and just grab a copy for myself after its all said and done. I thought this would be a lot of fun for weddings and really when traveling.”

Gibson the MooseThis photo of Josh’s nephew, “Gibson the Moose,” is just the type of picture he looks forward to shooting with his Lytro. Our team is working hard so we can see Gibson imitate other native habitat in living pictures.
