For a low-rate-of-change scene like a construction site, I think it should be possible to use a drone with a camera on it to repeatedly fly through the same grid pattern in the sky, where that grid represents a large aperture, collecting compound images as if it were a light-field camera.

Repeating the flight path over and over means getting multiple frames for a time lapse video.

Then you could reproject that time-lapse video in miniature, viewed from various angles through that aperture and with DOF effects, like you’re some kind of giant watching ants build a stadium or office block.

Just a thought.
