I have a friend who has one. I've played with it. As I said when it
first came out "there's no magic, it has to sacrifice resolution to
get variable focus."
The 2005 paper[0] mentions this issue; their bet is that VLSI

I have a friend who has one. I've played with it. As I said when it first
came out "there's no magic, it has to sacrifice resolution to get variable
focus."

limited in terms of traditional photographic values: resolution,
