This is the basis of our work with Facebook which can capture a light field using 6 or 24 cameras. We run a Job on cloud and it comes back as a 3D scene ORBX asset you can load into Octane for Nuke, Unity etc.

Can anyone do it? Is the software to do that open source?

You need the camera. The software to process is hosted by us on the cloud, I don't if FB can oss it. At least the ORBX file is open and loads in Unity Nuke and AE
