That was one of the rather unexploited features of the Amazon Fire Phone, which I loved for that very reason. Unfortunately, it didn't see much use, but you could take pictures that could capture depth (created by rotation) and it was so cool.

Plus you can prerender 99% of the lighting.
Or even just take ten million photos from almost the same spot, presenting the one that matches the user's subtle movements.
So give it 5 years, and you'll have it on your phone...
If there's one thing I've learned over the decades about computer technology, it's to never say "impossible" or "never"...
Eventually, what you once might have thought to be only in the realm of "big and expensive" inevitably becomes "cheap and commodity" in a far shorter time than you expect.
