So, let's see if I get this right. They rediscovered something, that everyone from the 1990's and 80 years prior learned to make as part of science class...and simply applied modern technology to it.

No, you didn't get it right. But that's not surprising, clearly you didn't read the article.
I suspect that if you put a lens on it, you would end up with a light field camera.
aaaaanyways... this is wikipedia on light field camera: "A light field camera, also known as plenoptic camera, captures information about the intensity of light in a scene, and also captures information about the direction that the light rays are traveling in space. One type of light field camera uses an array of micro-lenses placed in front of an otherwise conventional image sensor to sense intensity, color, and directional
I think the "micro mask" is the lens array. It already is a light-field camera.
I can't wait to see what these things start to be capable of as technology progresses to assemble the micro structure and we get over the computational overhead
